IPL Auction: Feb 4 Registration Deadline; No Player Agent Allowed

The Indian cricket board has said that it would deal and communicate directly with the state associations and not with any player agents in case of individual players wishing to register themselves fo

"Once logged in you will be asked to register all interested players (details on the procedure can be found in the attached user manual for state associations)," it adds.

"When the above registration is initiated by the state association, it will generate an email to the player with their login details so they can complete the registration process."

"Once registered, in order to express their interest in playing in the IPL 2021, the player should log in to the online registration system. They will be required to complete all the fields and download and complete the IPL 2021 player auction agreement. Once completed the agreement must be uploaded back to the online registration system and the original sent or delivered to their respective state association. Please note the physical signature of the player is required on the original auction agreement."

The BCCI has also set certain norms for under-19 players willing to feature in the auctions. It says that the player needs to be registered as a player with a state body and should have played at least one first-class or List A match.

"An Indian under-19 player may only register for the IPL 2021 player auction if the player is registered as a player with a state association and has played in at least one match in either first-class cricket or List A cricket. For the 2021 season, an u-19 player is one who was born on or after 1 April 2002," the BCCI stated.

The BCCI also put a condition for an uncapped player who has retired from domestic cricket, saying that the player would need approval from it.

"Any uncapped player who has retired from domestic cricket, can only submit his auction agreement for player registration after getting written approval from BCCI," said the statement.
