The Indian Premier League 2022 mega-auctions are likely to take place in December this year. According to reports, the auctions will be the last ever mega-auctions of the tournament.
It is learned, that the Indian Premier League franchises too were not keen on more mega-auctions after IPL 2022. They want to focus on building their teams for the long run in the Indian Premier League. The Board of Control for Cricket in India seems to have agreed to the request of the franchises. A Times of India journalist, K Shriniwas Rao, posted a tweet on the mega-auctions, stating,
“Bumper announcement: This is probably the last IPL mega auction. After this, franchises have to work on — and create — their own ecosystems. After this no mega auction for quite time (I guess forever). P.s…. as it is, I think auctions have gone past their sell by date”

After this no mega auction for quite time (I guess forever).
P.s…. as it is, I think auctions have gone past their sell by date.
