The day is finally here when all ten franchises announce the players that they will retain and release ahead of the 2024 edition of the IPL.
Thus far, the five-time IPL winner, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have announced all-rounder Ben Stokes will no longer be associated with the franchise. The all-rounder informed the franchise that he won’t be part of the 2024 IPL season.
On the other hand, after much speculation, Delhi Capitals (DC) have retained the swashbuckling opener, Prithvi Shaw. However, not the same could be said about the likes of the host of players that they have let go. The biggest news, though, comes from the Gujarat Titans (GT) camp, with the 2022 IPL champions holding onto Hardik Pandya only before MI swooped in to trade him in for INR 15 crore.
Mumbai Indians (MI), on the other hand, have let go of Jofra Archer. The five-time champions have also let go of Cameron Green to RCB for a sum of INR 17.5 crore, as confirmed by the franchise on Monday (November 27).
