IPL 2019: Complete squads of all teams

As the new session of this Cricket IPL is about to start and there are some major changes in the teams, some of the best players are dropped from the teams and some are transferred as well as some of the best team coaches are also removed from the teams, here are some of the major changes in the teams regarding the players, coaches and some inclusions in the latest teams.

There were quite a few surprises and a few obvious choices as the eight franchises confirmed the names of retained and released players for the 12th season of Indian Premier League. November 15 was the last date for the teams to submit the list of the retained players before the 2019 IPL auctions, which is rumored to be held in the third week of December.

Steve Smith and David Warner have been retained by Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively as both are set to return to cricketing normalcy, having missed out on the 11th edition of the cash-rich T20 league after their involvement in the ball-tampering scandal in March this year.

Among the players released, names like Yuvraj Singh (KXIP) and Gautam Gambhir (DD) stick out. Rajasthan Royals decided to let go of Jaydev Unadkat after paying a whopping INR 11.5 crore for his services earlier this year. Wriddhiman Saha, Carlos Brathwaite, Mohammed Shami, Daniel Christian, Glenn Maxwell – have also been released and will go under the hammer next month.
