From Cameron Green to Liam Livingstone, many big stars are going to be under bid in the IPL 2026 auction. Especially all eyes will be on Cameron Green, because many teams need a fast bowling all-rounder, who can bowl 3-4 overs, can bat in the middle overs and can also play the role of a finisher. Therefore, it is being speculated that a very high bid may be placed on Green in the auction.
Even if the bid on Cameron Green or any other foreign player goes up to Rs 20 or Rs 30 crore, he will get a salary of only Rs 18 crore. This means that even if the bid goes up to Rs 50 crore, the foreign player will be able to get only Rs 18 crore. After all, why would this happen and what is the rule of BCCI, the biggest reason for this?
BCCI’s maximum fee rule
According to the ‘Maximum Fee Rule’ implemented by BCCI, whichever is lower between the highest retention slab (18 crores) and the bid placed on the most expensive player sold in the last mega auction (Rishabh Pant – 27 crores), the foreign player will get the same amount in the mini auction. Even if a bid of Rs 50 crore is made on it. Suppose if a bid of Rs 30 crore is made for Cameron Green, then according to the new rules he will get only Rs 18 crore, the remaining Rs 12 crore will be taken by BCCI and deposited in the Players Welfare Fund.
This has been done because some foreign players used to miss the mega auction and try to raise huge amount only in the mini auction. This rule applies not just to Cameron Green but to all foreign players. This means that even if the bid goes above Rs 18 crore, he will get a salary of only Rs 18 crore.
