BCCI has confirmed that Indian auctioneer Mallika Sagar will take charge of IPL 2024. The player's auction will be held on December 19 in Dubai.
Who will BCCI auction for IPL 2024? A big decision has been taken regarding this. Till now foreign auctioneers used to place the bids for the players in IPL. This time this responsibility has been handed over to an Indian. The biggest thing is that this auctioneer is a woman. BCCI has informed all the franchises that the responsibility of the IPL 2024 auction to be held in Dubai on December 19 has been handed over to auctioneer Mallika Sagar.
According to a Cricbuzz report, BCCI has informed the franchises that independent professional auctioneer Mallika Sagar will conduct the IPL 2024 auction. Mallika will act as the sole arbiter for all aspects of the auction. Let us tell you that Mallika Sagar has earlier auctioned the first two seasons of the Women's Premier League.
Let us tell you that Hugh Edmeads was the foreign auctioneer in the last season of IPL. Before that, Richard Madley had conducted the auction for 10 seasons. After Hugh Edmeads fell unconscious, BCCI officials called an Indian professional auctioneer Charu Sharma, who was from Bengaluru.
This is the first time that the IPL auction is going to be held outside India in Dubai. With this, there will be an Indian woman auctioneer for the first time. Mallika Sagar has conducted a successful auction of WPL twice. BCCI is very happy with his work. For this reason, he has also been entrusted with the responsibility of the IPL auction.
