IPL trading window open again: All you need to know about IPL trading window after IPL 2024 auction

The IPL trading window is open once again will close one week before the IPL 2024 begins.

The trading window for the upcoming IPL 2024 season is open once again. The Indian Premier League trading window became the biggest talking point when Mumbai Indians made probably the biggest trade of the league’s history and brought in Hardik Pandya from Gujarat Titans camp. MI were involved in two huge all-cash trades in the previous window. Apart from Hardik Pandya and Cameron Green, a few others also shifted their base ahead of the IPL 2024 auction. 

West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd was traded to Mumbai Indians from Lucknow Super Giants and he was the first one before the final retention list was released. Avesh Khan also shifted his base from Lucknow to Rajasthan Royals while Devdutt Padikkal moved to Lucknow from Rajasthan. Shahbaz Ahmed was also traded from Royal Challengers Bangalore to Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mayank Dagar shifted his base from SRH replacing Ahmed in RCB. 

IPL Trading Window is open again

As the IPL mini-auction 2024 in Dubai concluded on Tuesday, the IPL trading window is open once again. IPL teams get totals of 3 trading windows starting after the end of an IPL season which concludes before the retention deadline. The second window begins after the retention list is announced and it concludes a week before the IPL auction. The third and last window opens right after the auction and goes on till a week before the next IPL season commences. 

The third trading window comes with a certain clause that a player bought in the auction just before the trading window can not be traded with any team in a player-to-player or all-cash trade. So teams will not be able to trade the players they bought during the IPL 2024 auction, while they can trade any other players only in player-to-player as no all-cash trade deals will be allowed in the third window which will be open till the IPL 2024 begins tentatively in March 2024.

IPL Mini-auction 2024 witnessed a slight change in every team’s strategy in building the balance of the side. Teams were cautious to spend money on key players in the auction and they were looking for bargain buys rather than spending heavy amounts on them. The two Aussies (Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc) were the only exceptions and apart from these two, Rachin Ravindra, Travis Head, Gerald Coetzee, and Wanindu Hasaranga got less amount than expected.
