The meeting between the Indian Premier League (IPL) team owners and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on April 16 has been postponed with new date yet to be finalised. The venue for the meeting was supposed to be Ahmedabad with main agenda around the number of retentions for the mega auction that is to happen next year ahead of the cash-rich league.
It was earlier reported that certain franchises were in favour of retaining as many as eight players. But now the team owners seem to be asking to reinstate Right to Match (RTM) card option that was introduced in IPL 2018 mega auction. The top officials of the BCCI were keen on picking the brains of the team owners to decide on the same matter in the meeting. According to a report in Cricbuzz, franchises seem to be on the same page over having more RTM options in the auction instead of more retentions. In this case, the number of players to be retained could come down to only one.
