HOW THE IPL AUCTION WORKS

Build an IPL, BBL or global T20 franchise from the ground up in this cricket auction game. Auction an 18-man squad against a live salary cap, retain your core between seasons, and make in-game tactical calls: Power Surges, bowling changes, batting order, and pitch reads. Play a single Quick Play tournament with a fixed seed and a shareable result, or commit to Squad Mode, a multi-season franchise manager career where retention prices, transfer windows and club milestones carry across years. Every squad draws on real historical rosters, from the 2008 inaugural IPL season through the newest campaigns.
