Such cases were mostly seen with foreign players. IPL 2024 saw the highest number of cases, when many players returned home due to the T20 World Cup. Now BCCI has heard this problem. The board has tried to prevent and crack down on such cases by introducing some strict rules ahead of IPL 2025.

The governing council has issued several rules for the mega auction including player retention, auction purse. Meanwhile, a strict decision has also been taken.
According to the new rule, if a player registers in the Player Auction and withdraws his name before the start of the season after selection, he will be banned for 2 years. He will not be able to participate in tournaments for 2 years and will also not be able to register for player auctions.
There is a special rule for foreign players
