Retention policy

The eight IPL franchise teams could retain a maximum of five players from their squad, out of which only three could be retained during the retention period. The teams could also use a maximum of three right-to-match cards at the auction (a maximum of two, if the franchise retained three players during the retention period). The other restrictions on player retention were: a maximum of three capped Indian players could be retained, and only two overseas players and two uncapped Indian players could be retained. The salary deduction for every retained player from the franchise's salary purse was stipulated to be ₹15 crore, ₹11 crore and ₹7 crore if three players were retained; ₹12.5 crore and ₹8.5 crore if two players were retained; and ₹12.5 crore if only one player was retained. For retaining an uncapped player, salary deduction was set at ₹3 crore.[1]

Chennai and Rajasthan, two franchises which were returning after serving a two-year suspension, were allowed to retain players from their respective 2015 squads who were not part of the squads of any of the other six teams in 2017. This meant that Chennai could retain from a pool of 13 players whereas Rajasthan had 6 players to choose from.[2]

Retained players

The franchises were required to submit their retention lists by 4 January 2018. Player retention was broadcast live on Star Sports, making it the first time that player retention was telecasted.[3]
