2026 season of Indian Premier League (IPL) This will be the 19th installment of the marquee tournament. Ahead of the cricketing extravaganza, teams will need to prepare their squads by making some notable buys for their groups at the auction to be held at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, December 16.
Like previous editions, each team will aim to maximize the mini auction in terms of filling the gaps as per their strategic plans. However, several big names have been released by the franchises, and these names, in turn, have opted not to continue their IPL careers, at least for the 2026 season. Today CricTracker will list the five greatest players who played in 2025 but will not be seen in the coming year.
