The deadline of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 player retention ended at 5 pm IST on Tuesday (15 November), and while there were some surprises, there were a few expected moves as well.
The IPL 2023 trading window ended on Tuesday evening, and teams can no longer trade players to other franchises.
One of the biggest headlines was West Indian Kieron Pollard bidding adieu to the Indian Premier League (IPL) after spending 13 years with Mumbai Indians (MI).
Australia’s Pat Cummins, meanwhile, opted out of IPL 2023, citing a hectic international calendar that includes the ODI World Cup in India.
Chennai Super Kings released another West Indian in the 39-year-old Dwayne Bravo. Bravo was bought back to CSK at the IPL 2022 mega auction following a tense bidding war against Delhi Capitals.
The former West Indies cricketer scalped 16 wickets from 10 matches as CSK finished in a lowly ninth place in IPL 2022.
Along with Cummins, England duo of Alex Hales and Sam Billings opted to skip IPL 2023, citing personal reasons and national commitments as per the Kolkata Knight Riders franchise.
Shardul Thakur was traded by Delhi Capitals to the Kolkata Knight Riders, while Australia’s Jason Behrendorff was also traded to Mumbai Indians by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The mini-auction of IPL 2023 will take place on 23 December in Kochi.
