The six franchises competing in the upcoming Andhra Premier League (APL) 2023 have finalized their squad rosters during the player auction held on August 1st. The 20-over tournament begins on August 16 and concludes with the final on August 27.
Over 580 cricketers were up for grabs in the auction overseen by Charu Sharma. In total, the APL teams spent around INR 1.8 crores acquiring more than 100 players.
Indian test batsman Hanuma Vihari was the most expensive purchase, bought for INR 6.6 lakhs by Rayalaseema Kings. The franchises could also utilize ‘Right to Match’ cards to retain players – Godavari Titans used this to keep M Dheeraj Kumar for INR 5.2 lakhs.
The six teams in the league are defending champions Coastal Riders, Bezawada Tigers, Vizag Warriors, Rayalaseema Kings, Godavari Titans and KVR Uttarandhra Lions. Ahead of the auction, they had already retained and traded some players.
With their squads now locked in, the teams will battle for glory when the APL 2023 season starts soon. The auction has set the stage for an intense and entertaining tournament.
