IPL 2027 auction set to return to India after three years: Report
- IPL chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed on Wednesday that the BCCI will host the 2027 IPL players' auction in India, ending a three-year streak of overseas events held in Dubai, Jeddah, and Abu Dhabi.
- Following criticism from top Indian cricketers, the BCCI is reviewing the controversial Impact Player rule, with players including Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel expressing reservations about the substitution concept.
- The Governing Council recently requested fresh feedback from franchises on the concept, as players argue the substitution rule dilutes the role of all-rounders, though it remains scheduled to stay until 2027.
- On September 18, Dhumal is set to be re-elected as IPL chairman during the BCCI Annual General Meeting, alongside Khairul Majumdar, who returns to the IPL Governing Council.
- Securing a venue for the smaller 2027 auction remains the primary challenge, as Dhumal noted that India's heavy marriage season frequently complicates scheduling for the league's preferred locations.
