Promising youngsters get a raw deal at Kerala Cricket League auction
The player auction for the second season of the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) left many junior cricketers in the State disappointed and it raised serious questions about the aim of the fledgling league in promoting talent. Twenty-three players, who represented the State in Cooch Behar Trophy, Col. C.K. Nayudu Trophy or Vijay Merchant Trophy, went unsold in the auction. The notable omission being Mohammed Enaan, the India under-19 player currently touring England. Manav Krishna, who was chosen as the Promising Player in the NSK Trophy T20 tournament, also went unsold. Abi Biju, S. Abhiram, Kamil Aboobacker, Kiran Sagar and Rohan Nair were among the players who found no buyers. Of the 49 players registered in Category B with base price of ₹1.5 lakh, only 16 were picked by the teams while 49 out of the 84 players in Category C with a base price of ₹75,000 were traded in the auction. The auction threw up surprises like 42-year-old K.J. Rakesh, who served as junior selector last season, getting picked while many promising youngsters were overlooked. 'The teams splurged money to buy Category A players and exhausted half of their purse. They then looked for cheaper players in Category C, sidestepping Category B players. The KCA made a mistake by not allowing unsold players in Category B to be traded along with Category C players at a reduced base price like it did with Category A players. Most of the coaches of the franchises teams were based abroad and weren't familiar with the local talent,'' said Biju George, former Indian women team's fielding coach and current talent scout of Kolkata Knight Riders. The KCA secretary Vinod S. Kumar admitted the mistake and said the association will make it mandatory for the team to pick a fixed number of Category B players from next season onwards. 'We didn't foresee such a scenario this season. The bidding for Category A players left the teams short of money and some barely managed to buy the minimum number of 16 players. For the next season we are thinking of making it mandatory for the teams to pick up a fixed number of players from Category B and even allowing Category B players to be sold along with Category C players at a reduced price. Those at the auction table should not be parochial. The teams also picked some players who either failed the yo-yo test or missed it. I must admit the bidding wasn't fair on some players. The KCL will have some initial flaws which we will rectify in due course of time,'' said Vinod.

Delhi Premier League 2025: Young Stars From Virat Kohli And Virender Sehwag Families Set To Shine In Expanded Tournament
In what promises to be a landmark moment for domestic cricket in India, the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 auction is generating serious buzz — and not just for the usual reasons. This year, the limelight falls on two familiar surnames with fresh faces: Virat Kohli's 15-year-old nephew Aaryaveer Kohli and Virender Sehwag's sons Aryavir and Vedant Sehwag are officially part of the auction draft scheduled for July 5. Their inclusion adds an emotional and generational twist to the tournament, as cricketing legacies are being passed down from Indian icons to their next-gen prodigies. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see which teams these promising youngsters will represent and how they'll perform under pressure in one of Delhi's fastest-growing T20 leagues. Also Read: Jasprit Bumrah To Play IND vs ENG 2nd Test? Here's All You Need To Know In another big leap forward, DDCA (Delhi & District Cricket Association) has confirmed the addition of two new franchises – Outer Delhi and New Delhi – taking the total number of teams in DPL 2025 to eight. This expansion reflects the league's growing popularity and its role in scouting and nurturing local cricket talent. The DPL's official account announced the development via a tweet after a closed-door team auction held on June 28, welcoming the newcomers with the words: "Naya season, naye jazbaat… aur DPL mein do nayi teams ki shuruaat!" With teams now representing nearly all major zones of the capital – East, West, North, South, Central, and now Outer and New Delhi – the tournament has taken a significant step toward becoming Delhi's most competitive cricketing platform. Rising Stars: Aaryaveer Kohli & Aryavir Sehwag Spark Buzz Among the hundreds of young players listed for the DPL 2025 auction, the spotlight clearly belongs to Aaryaveer Kohli and Aryavir Sehwag. Aaryaveer Kohli, son of Virat Kohli's elder brother Vikas, is a leg-spinner currently training at West Delhi Cricket Academy under Raj Kumar Sharma, the same coach who nurtured Virat into a global superstar. At just 15, Aaryaveer has already represented Delhi's U-16 squad and has been slotted in Category C for the auction. On the other hand, Aryavir Sehwag, aged 17, is no stranger to the spotlight. He's been a part of the Delhi U-19 team and made headlines when he smashed a sensational 297-run knock against Meghalaya in the Cooch Behar Trophy. His performance didn't just catch selectors' eyes — even his father, Sehwag, couldn't help but tweet jokingly about missing out on a Ferrari by just 3 runs. Aryavir has been placed in Category B, while his younger brother Vedant, a 15-year-old off-spinner representing the Delhi U-16 team, is also in the auction draft, making the Sehwag family a double presence this season. DPL Auction 2025: What to Expect on July 5 The upcoming DPL 2025 auction on July 5 is expected to be a high-stakes affair. With two new teams entering the fray and a major reshuffle of existing squads, franchises will be keen to snap up young and exciting talent early on. The presence of legacy names like Kohli and Sehwag will undoubtedly draw attention, but seasoned domestic performers and emerging stars from the capital's cricket academies will also be closely watched. With preparations in full swing and the tournament likely to kick off in the last week of July, the countdown has officially begun. DPL has become a vital stepping stone for Delhi's cricketing future, and with this injection of star power and youthful energy, season two promises to be bigger, bolder, and better.
