The Indian Premier League 2023 mini-auction is set to be held on 23rd December in Kochi. Teams have already released their retentions lists and sorted out their purses for the upcoming auction. 

In what turns out to be a thrilling event every year, world-class players are looking forward to putting their names in for the auction list. England star batter Joe Root, who has been in phenomenal form has expressed that he would love to be involved in the auction. 

What Root said 

“I would certainly debate going into the IPL draw quite seriously and hope to get exposure in that tournament. It would be great to get involved in the continuous enormity of each game and how much it means." 

“I have no thoughts or feelings of retirement or slowing down or playing fewer formats. If anything, I feel a little bit more freedom with my time. I always used to get rested for the T20s and I feel like I got alienated from the format because I had not played enough of it,"

“That is especially valid because of how we are trying to play now as a Test team. Looking at the game through a T20 lens, will that benefit my Test cricket? With a 50-over World Cup next year, there are areas of my game that can benefit from playing more short-form cricket. When am I going to play some white-ball cricket if I don’t go out and search it out domestically?"
