As the Indian Premier League (IPL) goes into its 11th edition, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be back after serving two-year suspensions. The BCCI had asked franchises how many players they will like to be retained.

A proposal has come up at the IPL governing council meeting in New Delhi on Tuesday which might allow the franchises to retain as many as three players ahead of next year’s auctions.

If this proposal sees the light of day, both CSK and RR would be able to pick up the players of their choice from Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) and Gujarat Lions (GL), the two teams that replaced them in the last two editions of the IPL.

So now players like MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ben Stokes, Steve Smith, Brendon McCullum and Faf du Plessis will be up for grabs at the auctions next year.

Meanwhile, according to reports as in ESPNCricinfo, the next season of the IPL will be held between April 4 and May 31.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCCI) has confirmed the return of two-time champions Chennai Super Kings and the first season champion Rajasthan Royals in the next season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Both the teams were banned for two years by the Supreme Court after they were found guilty in a spot-fixing case, and the ban will come to an end next year.

Now, as per the media reports, CSK have started preparations for the return of their skipper MS Dhoni.

According to the Times of India news, “Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was removed from the captaincy of Rising Pune Superjoint, is in full swing to go to CSK.” And once the IPL 2017 is over, Dhoni will again see a Chennai Superkings crest on his chest.

Well, IPL will see a major turnaround next season, as when this tournament started in 2008, the rights of the franchisees were given for 10 years. Hence, in 2018, every player will go under the hammer once again.
