Rules that matter at this auction
2025–27 cycle context: ESPNcricinfo’s published explanation caps an overseas player’s mini-auction fee at the lower of the highest retention bracket (INR 18 crore) and the highest price at the preceding mega-auction. This is a cap on the player’s fee, not necessarily the bid.
The explanation predates the 2027 auction. We have not verified a newer amendment or a separate 2027 circular covering this formula. Recheck the final auction conditions before relying on it.
