Long-awaited player retention rules Indian premier league (IPL) The tournament management committee has made a proclamation that the cited definition includes the “uncapped” players’ completely the chennai super kings reserve MS Dhoni Below is speculation.
In fact, the rule has not been made up in the first place, and has only just been reintroduced after being abrogated in 2021.
This regulation, which pertains only to Indian players, states that if a player is not active internationally or a midfielder for five years without any match, that player will remain uncapped-eligible. Only two such players can be retained by a team and they have to pay Rs 4 crores each for it.
He has last represented Indian in the 2019 world cup semi finals against New zealand and therefore qualifies in both the stats.
More Indian Opera Aakash Chopra formerly explained the laws about “uncapped” players for former players of the Indian Opera.
“Should we ask: is this rule new? No, it’s not. It was abolished right from the commencement of the Indian Premiere League (IPL) in the year 2008 until 2021 since this was one policy that no team ever attempted to utilize even once. Well, it’s being reintroduced so it is a fictitious statement that today’s Chennai Super Kings has earned then why should we reintroduce the new Chennai Super Kings, which is obviously not true to be honest,” he said in a video on X and his YouTube channel.
Dhoni has made it explicitly clear that he will participate in IPL 2025 except for the reservation rules are clear) will also not be known… So the (uncapped) rule will certainly work to the advantage of Dhoni and Chennai… In my opinion, I will come out and say that I believe Dhoni will play this (2025) season.
It is however called Dhoni but he is not the only one in this section of ex Indian players who can be classified as ‘Not capped in for the national team.’
‘Vijay Shankar, Mayank Markande, Amit Mishra, Rishi Dhawan, Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Sharma, Karn Sharma and Piyush Chawla are able to find you in the lists whichareseked owing to (Uncapped players) rules,’ Chopra revealed.
As per IPL Players Regulations 2025-27, it is clearly stated that a franchise is allowed to retain no more than six players out of the present squad. This may include not more than five capped players and not more than two uncapped players.
Now when the ‘big auction’ is going to happen sometime late November in some foreign soil then the franchise has to figure out who they want to retain.
