BCCI Rules Out Immediate IPL Expansion, Focuses on 2027 Edition
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has ruled out any immediate expansion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) from 10 to 12 teams, stating that the board has not formally or informally discussed such plans. The BCCI is focused on organizing the 20th edition of the IPL in March 2027 and has not decided on increasing the team salary purse before the next mega auction. Speculative media reports about expansion and shifting the tournament window to January were dismissed as unfounded by Saikia.
