Xtra Time Web Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to extend the deadline to submit retained players list ahead of IPL mega auction before the upcoming season. The last date for submitting the list of retained players by the franchises was November 30. But it seems the deadline will be extended by a week due to delay in completion of paperwork for Ahmedabad franchise.

CVC Sports, which acquired the Ahmedabad franchise for 5625 crores is yet not given the letter of intent due to alleged links with betting company. This means the IPL team of Ahmedabad doesn’t exist at this stage. BCCI currently is taking legal opinion on the situation.

Meanwhile, all the franchises barring the exception of Punjab Kings has shortlisted the names of the players to be retained. Here is the list of the retained players by respective franchise:

Chennai Super Kings: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali/Faf Du Plessis/Sam Curran

Delhi Capitals: Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard, Ishan Kishan (likely)

Kolkata Knight Riders: Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer (likely)

Rajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson
