Some will unveil their core, while others might just go with a clean slate when the deadline to retain players ends on Tuesday for the eight existing IPL franchises.

After the eight teams finalise their retention plans, new franchises—Lucknow and Ahmedabad—will pick a maximum of three players between December 1 and 25 before the mega auction in January.
