IPL 2027 mini-auction to be held in Goa in December

The IPL mini-auction for the 2027 season will be held in Goa in December, marking the first time the event returns to Indian soil since the 2023 auction in Kochi. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed the venue on Wednesday, ending three successive overseas editions held in Dubai, Jeddah and Abu Dhabi. The December auction will be a mini-auction, allowing franchises to address specific squad gaps rather than undertake a full rebuild.
