The trading window, a strategic period for teams to refine their rosters, remains open from seven days post-season until a week before the Player Auction, adding an extra layer of intrigue to team dynamics.
Eager eyes are now fixed on the upcoming IPL auction slated for December 19 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. This edition marks a historic first as the auction transcends Indian borders.

Now, Dubai becomes the epicenter, promising a thrilling event as teams vie for top talents and craft their squads for the upcoming season.
