Pro Kabaddi (PKL) Season 9 2022 : Retained players

Teams have announced their retained and released player lists before the Pro Kabaddi League PKL Season 9 auctions begin. The PKL auctions, which will include over 500 participants, will take place in Mumbai from August 5th to 6th.

Among the vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 9 retained players revealed on Thursday were Bengal Warriors’ Maninder Singh and Patna Pirates’ top defender Mohammadreza Chiyaneh. Dabang Delhi K.C., the defending champions, have elected to maintain ace raider Naveen Kumar and all-rounder Vijay in their lineup.

Prior to the vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 9 Player Auction, all 12 teams have kept a total of 13 Retained Young Players, 19 Retained Elite Players, and 38 Existing New Young Players. This year, there are 41 New Young Players nominated by Franchisees.

Following the league’s ruling, teams can keep up to six elite players in each category while bringing in four new young players. Of course, all of this is subject to certain restrictions. Following that, each team announced a retained player list, totaling 111 players.

Patna Pirates had the most Elite Kept Players (4), with all-rounder Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh being the only international player retained by any PKL team heading into Season 9. Other big names like Arjun Deshwal (Jaipur Pink Panthers), Surender Gill (UP Yoddhas), and Saurabh Nandal (Bengaluru Bulls) have been kept on.

All non-retained players will be auctioned off during a two-day auction in Mumbai on August 5th and 6th.

Non-retained players from the Domestic, Overseas, and New Young Players (NYPs) groupings will be separated into four categories during this year’s auction: A, B, C, and D. Within each group, the players are further categorised as ‘All-Rounders,’ ‘Defenders,’ and ‘Raiders.’ Category A costs INR 30 lakhs, Category B costs INR 20 lakhs, Category C costs INR 10 lakhs, and Category D costs INR 6 lakhs.
