This is a list of all personnel changes for the 2018 Indian Premier League.

Retained players

The eight teams could retain a maximum of five players from their squad, out of which only three could be retained during the retention period. The teams could also use a maximum of three right-to-match cards at the auction (a maximum of two, if the franchise retained three players during the retention period). The other restrictions on player retention were: a maximum of three capped Indian players could be retained, and only two overseas players and two uncapped Indian players could be retained. The salary deduction for every retained player from the franchise's salary purse was stipulated to be ₹15 crore, ₹11 crore and ₹7 crore if three players were retained; ₹12.5 crore and ₹8.5 crore if two players were retained; and ₹12.5 crore if only one player was retained.[1]

Chennai and Rajasthan, two franchises which were returning after serving a two-year suspension, were allowed to retain players from their respective 2015 squads who were not part of the squads of any of the other six teams in 2017. This meant that Chennai could retain from a pool of 13 players whereas Rajasthan had 6 players to choose from.[2]

The franchises were required to submit their retention lists by 4 January 2018.

Auction

The player auction for the 2018 Indian Premier League will be held in Bangalore on 27 and 28 January 2018. The salary cap for the season was increased from ₹66 crore to ₹80 crore, with all franchises needing to spend at least 75 percent of the amount.[3]
