IPL 2027 Auction to Be Held in Goa in December: BCCI Secretary
The auction returns to India after three editions abroad, and BCCI says it will be the final mini-auction of the 2023-27 cycle.
On Wednesday, Board of Control for Cricket in India Secretary Devajit Saikia announced the Indian Premier League 2027 auction will be held in Goa this December, marking the event's return to India after three consecutive years abroad.
Previous auctions were held in Jeddah, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, as the BCCI struggled to secure domestic venues during India's heavy marriage season. The smaller auction format enabled the return home.
The upcoming event serves as the final mini-auction of the 2023-27 cycle. The BCCI is also seeking franchise feedback on the 'Impact Player' rule, which top cricketers have criticized.
Separately, the BCCI shifted the India A Women versus Australia A Women match from Dharamshala to Mohali's PCA IS Bindra Stadium due to persistent rainfall and unfavourable weather conditions.
The board is considering an earlier IPL window to avoid adverse weather. Saikia indicated they aimed to "start it by 10th of March and conclude it by 15th of May" for future seasons.
