2017 IPL player auction postponed
The 2017 Indian Premier League (IPL) player auction, originally to be held on Feb 4 in Bengaluru, has been postponed. The BCCI has not provided franchises with a confirmed date for the much-awaited auction, although it is expected to take place in the fourth week of this month.
The IPL player auction has been pushed back following the Supreme Court's decision to dismantle the BCCI hierarchy. The SC relieved president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke from their respective positions earlier this year, but the IPL is high on the list of priorities of the four-member committee of administrators.
"The Committee of Administrators (COA) met the concerned BCCI officials today to take stock of the urgent and important matters mainly concerning the successful conduct of IPL 2017. The COA has issued directions that the existing processes for availing the services and the appointment of the vendors for IPL will continue for this season," the BCCI said in a press release.
"The COA further assures the franchisees and all the stakeholders that all the IPL preparations will be promptly dealt with under the supervision and directions of the COA by the BCCI / IPL management team. The IPL operational timelines for 2017 season will be communicated shortly by the BCCI / IPL management team. The IPL 2017 season will commence as scheduled from 5th April 2017," the release further stated.
