The cost of retention for a franchise will be as follows: Rs 18 crore for the first player, Rs 14 crore for the second, Rs 11 crore for the third, while the fourth and fifth players will cost Rs 18 crore and Rs 14 crore respectively.
Moreover, the team can also retain an uncapped player and forgo the Right to Match (RTM), however if they retain only 5, they will keep the RTM option available.
All the IPL franchises are expected to submit a list of all the players they aim to retain to the BCCI as soon as October 31st.
