In case of 'Slab 1' and four players retained - 'Player 1' will be valued at ₹16 crore, 'Player 2' at ₹12 crore, 'Player 3' at ₹8 crore and 'Player 4' at ₹6 crore. In case of salary purse deductions per player, there are separate figures for four distinct slabs. Thereafter the two new teams will have the window to retain the players starting from 1st December 2021 to 25th December 2021,' the letter stated.

'The window for the eight existing teams to retain the players will be from the 1st November 2021 to 30th November 2021. The letter stated that the entire month of Novemver could be used for retention by eight old franchises and then from December 1-25, Lucknow and Ahmedabad would get a chance to pick their three players before the auction in early January. In case of uncapped players, the old franchises will get two picks and new ones will have one choice. In case of the two new franchises, when they are allowed to select from the pool, they will have the right to pick two Indian and one foreign players from the available pool. In case of four retentions, it could be either three Indians and one foreign player or at the maximum two Indians and as many foreigners. I am just giving an example,' the official stated.

But in reality, Pant's actual take home salary is not the reflection of what is deducted from purse. 'Suppose Delhi Capitals retains Rishabh Pant as their 'player 1' among four maximum players, then the purse deducted will be ₹16 crore. He also informed that retention amount and the amount paid to the player is not always the same.
