He last played for the Indian cricket team in a one-day international (ODI) game against New Zealand on 9th July 2019. This means Chennai Super Kings will have the option to retain MSD for just ₹4 Crore.

Mayank Markande

Mayank Markande is another player who is eligible to be retained as an uncapped player in the IPL 2025 auction. The player has made only one appearance in his international career, which came on 24th February 2019 against Australia. Despite just having made one appearance, he would be a capped player if this new rule was not introduced. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad will now have the option to retain him as an uncapped player.

Amit Mishra

Amit Mishra is another veteran who can now be retained as an uncapped player ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. The Indian bowler has played many international games across all formats, but he played his final game for India on 1st February 2017 against England. As it has been more than five years since then, he can be retained as an uncapped player for just ₹4 Crore by Lucknow Super Giants.

Piyush Chawla

Piyush Chawla’s last game for India was a test match he played against England on 13th December 2012. As he has not played for India in over 11 years, he will retain his status as an uncapped player ahead of the 2025 IPL mega auction. This means that Mumbai Indians can choose to retain him for just ₹4 Crore if they decide that the spinner is a part of their future plans.
