IPL 2021 Released Players List | A Mini-auction before IPL 2021 means that all the IPL teams will release a few players ahead of the new IPL season
A lot of speculations were put to rest when BCCI decided to postpone the IPL mega-auction, which was slated to be held in 2021, by a year. It has been understood that the move to defer the mega-auction was made as the board plans to extend the IPL 2022 with the inclusion of potentially two more teams. As a result, a mini-auction will be conducted before IPL 2021 where most teams would pick a few players to fill in the gaps in their already built IPL squads.
Here’s a look at the list of players who were released by each team ahead of the IPL 2021 auction:
