The much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) auction will be held in Abu Dhabi on December 16. Sources confirmed Sportstar on Thursday that the decision has been made by IPL governing body.

Saudi Arabia hosted the IPL auction last time, and Jeddah and Dubai had the privilege of holding the mega event prior to that. However, unlike last year, this will be a mini auction, with 10 teams set to raise their paddle to improve their squad in an one-day event.

Meanwhile, the retention and release list will be confirmed by November 15.
