IPL Retention Speculations are over about who would be in and who would be out and the official announcements will happen today. Between this shocking report says that Big players like KL Rahul & Rashid Khan might get suspended for IPL 2022.
New entrants to the IPL 2022, the Lucknow franchise have been accused of poaching players ahead of the 2022 Indian Premier League player retentions. As per reports, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have complained regarding the matter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
PBKS and SRH have said that the Lucknow team has been persuading KL Rahul and Rashid Khan to leave their franchises. The BCCI has said it will look deep into the issue after complaints were registered by the two IPL franchises.
“We haven’t received any letter but we have received a verbal complaint from two franchises about players poaching by Lucknow team. We are looking into it, and we will take appropriate action if it proves to be true,” a senior BCCI official was quoted as saying to InsideSport. “We don’t want to disturb the balance. You cannot avoid such things when there is fierce competition. But it’s not fair to the existing teams when they are trying to balance everything,” the official added.
If this is proved right, then there will be suspension for 1 year for both star players Rashid Khan & Kl Rahul.

As of now, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni look to be confirmed retained players for their respective franchises. Things have heated up further with the addition of the two new franchises who would bid for players for the very first time and as expected eyes would be on them. As per BCCI’s retention policy, franchisees are allowed to retain only four players and the teams are required to submit the final list by November 30.
