Before that, there is also the matter of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction which will decide squads for the 17th edition of the tournament. IPL mini-auction, scheduled to take place on 19 December in Dubai, will see franchises iron out their teams for IPL 2024. There is no clarity on when the IPL will take place next year. IPL 2024 Auction: Full list of released and retained players Ahead of the mini-auction, the IPL trade window is open which allows franchises to swap players with others or buy players outrightly in all-cash deals.
