The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is leaving no stone unturned to organize the mega auction ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season smoothly. A total of 590 cricketers will go under the hammer on February 12 and 13 in Bengaluru as the 10 franchises – including newly-added Lucknow Super Giants and Team Ahmedabad – will look to build their squads.
The auction will take place in a bio-secure bubble amid challenging COVID-19 pandemic in India. The BCCI have laid down some mandatory rules that all 10 teams need to follow at IPL 2022 auction table.
The IPL 2022 auction will take place in a bio-bubble.
 The officials representing the franchises will have to clear COVID-19 tests with negative RT-PCR report on February 9, 10 and 11. The testing will be conducted by BCCI-accredited medical agency.
 No Right to Match (RTM) option will be available for the team in this auction.
 Only 3 players have been allowed to be retained by the original eight IPL teams while the two new teams have been allowed 3 draft picks ahead of the auction. It means all the teams will start with a clean slate at the auction.
