BCCI Secretary Jay Shah stated, “The Board of Control for Cricket in India organized a constructive dialogue with the owners of the 10 franchises on various subjects pertaining to the upcoming season of the TATA IPL. The franchise owners provided valuable feedback on player regulations and other commercial aspects, including central merchandising, licensing, and gaming. We will now present these recommendations to the IPL Governing Council for further deliberation and evaluation before finalizing the player regulations for IPL 2025.”

Parth Jindal, co-owner of Delhi Capitals, highlighted a notable debate regarding the potential for a mega auction, with his franchise expressing support for its implementation.

The meeting saw participation from a range of IPL franchise owners and representatives, including Kiran Kumar Grandhi (Delhi Capitals), Sanjiv Goenka (Lucknow Super Giants), Rupa Gurunath (Chennai Super Kings), Kavya Maran (Sunrisers Hyderabad), Shah Rukh Khan (Kolkata Knight Riders), and Ness Wadia (Punjab Kings).
