IPL 2020: Team-wise list of all players retained, released and traded

Here are all the releases, trades and retention of players that happened during IPL trade window.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) trade window closed on November 15 and during this time all the eight franchises of the league did lots of permutations and combinations for the upcoming IPL season in 2020.

The team management made many trades of players in return for either other players or full cash payment. There were many big names that were traded during this window especially the names of R Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane and Trent Boult that took people by surprise.

Team COC, therefore, brings to you the complete list of all the retained and released players franchise-wise.

Check out the franchise-wise list of retained and released players for IPL 2020

Mumbai Indians

The current and four-time champions Mumbai Indians had to make two releases by default given that Yuvraj Singh retired from the league and Jason Behrendorff is out of cricket for a considerable amount of time due to his back surgery. Therefore, they got Trent Boult from Delhi Capitals and retained Mitchell McClenaghan.
