Kolkata Knight Riders has just announced that Alex Hales has opted out of the 2023 season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has released its captain Kane Williamson alongside West Indies skipper Nicholas Pooran. Williamson was retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. In 76 matches for the side, Williamson scored 2101 runs at an average of 36.32 and a 126.03 SR. Williamson led the side to the 2018 final where it finished runner-up behind CSK. SRH has freed up more than INR 24 crore by releasing both players before IPL 2023 auction.

The latest buzz suggests that Marcus Stoinis will remain with the Lucknow Super Giants contrary to earlier reports of a release of the Australian all-rounder.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore have reportedly retained six overseas players including skipper Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Finn Allen, David Willey and Josh Hazlewood.

Lucknow Super Giants is set to release Ankit Rajpoot and Shahbaz Nadeem. There are also doubts cast over the impressive left-arm seamer Mohsin Khan who has been on the injury trail ever since the last season.

Devdutt Padikkal has been retained by Rajasthan Royals. RR had attempted for a few trade deals that did not pay off in the end. The left-hander who usually plays as an opener was bought by the Royals in 2022 for INR 7.75 crore and he spent the season playing in the middle-order for the side. Padikkal hit 376 runs in 12 innings with a solitary fifty.

The deadline for the IPL 2023 retentions are expected to close at 5:00 PM IST.

The Kolkata Knight Riders have been quite proactive in the lead-up to the retention day. According to the latest reports, Shivam Mavi, Mohammad Nabi and Chamika Karunaratne have also been released by the franchise.

While Chennai Super Kings has championed experience over the years, Ambati Rayudu will be in focus this time as the team might finally take a call on its rebuilding phase. Rayudu had a bizarre retirement call on Twitter after the last season and immediately snapped out of it after an intervention from CSK. Rayudu made the move to Baroda in domestic cricket and the skipper has not been in the best of form during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

The latest buzz is that Punjab Kings could part ways with Mayank Agarwal who led the side last season, alongside Odean Smith and Shahrukh Khan.
