[Saba Sports News] The BCCI is considering Dubai for the IPL auction venue, tentatively scheduled between December 15 and 19. The Women’s Premier League (WPL) auction may precede it on December 9. Last year’s WPL was in Mumbai, and the 2024 edition is likely in India.
No official notice has gone to franchises yet, but reports suggest Dubai is under consideration. Last year, the IPL auction was initially planned for Istanbul but held in Kochi.
The IPL trading window is open, but no player exchanges are reported. WPL franchise owners are awaiting venue and date information, with the tournament expected not before February due to the Indian women’s team’s international commitments until mid-January.
Franchises are also uncertain about WPL 2024’s format, whether it will be held in one city or home-away, like the IPL. BCCI is busy with the ODI World Cup 2023, culminating on November 19 in Ahmedabad.
