A total of 2,048 players have registered for the men\u2019s auction, while 363 women cricketers will hope to draw a bid, with three franchises vying for talent in the women\u2019s competition. Ahead of the auction, Sayali Satghare (SoBo Mumbai Falcons), Saima Thakor (Thane Sky Risers) and Humaira Kazi (Aakash Tigers) have been designated as icon players for their respective teams.<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s pool, 22 players have opted for the highest base price of \u20b95 lakh. The list includes last season\u2019s standout performers Akash Parkar, Chinmay Sutar and Ishan Mulchandani, along with IPL names Musheer Khan and Onkar Tarmale. In contrast, Arjun Tendulkar has slotted himself in the lowest bracket of \u20b92 lakh.<\/p>\n
Each men\u2019s franchise was allowed to retain a maximum of three players, including its icon. All eight teams have exercised that option, ensuring a sizeable chunk of Mumbai\u2019s top-tier talent will not feature in the auction pool. The purse for each men\u2019s team remains capped at \u20b91 crore.<\/p>\n
