IPL Teams Get More Time to Lock in Retentions

The Indian Premier League has granted franchises a brief reprieve, pushing back the retention and release list submission deadline to **November 17**—two days later than originally planned. This adjustment comes ahead of the **December 16 mini-auction in Goa**, the final player auction before the **2028 mega auction**, giving teams extra time to finalize their squads.

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have already made two notable trades, reacquiring **Rishabh Pant** from Lucknow Super Giants in exchange for Kuldeep Yadav, while also sending **T Natarajan** to Sunrisers Hyderabad for Zeeshan Ansari. The 2027 season’s start date remains unconfirmed, though sources suggest it may begin in late March, aligning with earlier tentative scheduling windows.
