IPL 2024: Complete list of players released by IPL teams ahead of mini-auction

A major event occurs every year just before the start of the much-loved and successful Indian Premier League (IPL)—the player auction. One of the most elaborate events happening before the league starts, this auction is a crucial "reshuffler" for the teams involved. The process begins with putting players up for auction, which sets off a bidding war. Teams that are interested in acquiring a player must submit the highest bid at this stage. By giving them the opportunity to strengthen their roster with new players, the auction serves as a revitalising tool for teams. In the affluent metropolis of Dubai, the upcoming IPL 2024 auction is scheduled to take place on December 19, 2023.

Should the bid be accepted, these players will be able to sign with and make an impact on a new team. On the other hand, should a player go unsold during the auction, they will still be eligible to play in the IPL should a team want to sign him as a replacement in the future.
