Prior to the IPL 2023 mini-auction on December 23 in Kochi, the 10 Indian Premier League (IPL) teams were asked to submit their Retention List to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) within a few days after the conclusion of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Before the Retention Day deadline at 5 pm on November 15, England batsman Sam Billings and Australian ODI skipper Pat Cummins left Kolkata Knight Riders because they both planned to forego the IPL in 2023. Before finalizing their Retention List, the Punjab Kings, which are co -owned by Preity Zinta, have the largest budget at Rs 8.45 crore, while Lucknow Super Giants, who are making their IPL 2022 debuts, have the smallest at Rs 5 crore.
