LPL Auction 2023
The LPL Auction 2023 took place at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo on Wednesday, June 14. Charu Sharma served as the auctioneer for the auction. Although the five teams started out with a total purse of US$ 500,000 each, all the five already pre-signed four players from that purse ahead of the auction. As such, they entered the auction with whatever amount they have left.
All the capped players started out with base prices ranging from USD 10,000 – 50,000, in increments of USD 10,000. Meanwhile, the uncapped players had either one of three base prices: US$ 5000, US$ 10,000, or US$ 20,000. The base prices were placed depending upon their domestic and franchise cricket experience and performance.
The first 70 players were called out mandatorily for the auction process. Following which, the remaining names were picked for the accelerated process where some of the unsold players also returned during the final rounds.
The rules require all the five teams to have a minimum of 20 players each to compete. Teams also had a RTM (Right To Match) card that allowed each team to match the fee for any player that featured for their team in the previous season.
