New Delhi: The Indian Premier League auction is likely to return to Mumbai this season after Bengaluru hosted the event in the last three seasons. The Garden City has been synonymous with IPL auctions over the years as it has hosted the event five times since the inception of the cash-rich league in 2008.

But the BCCI is toying with the idea of returning to Mumbai this season as it is logistically a better option. The inaugural auction of the IPL was held in Mumbai and the City of Dreams again held the auction in 2010, before it moved down South.

Speaking to CricketNext, a senior official from an IPL franchise said that the BCCI is likely to bring the auction back to Mumbai as it is logistically more convenient, considering that the BCCI headquarters and the team working behind the scenes to host the auction are from the city.

Kevin Pietersen, on Friday (February 3), confirmed that he won't be a part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 auction after a busy winter schedule. Pietersen was part of Rising Pune Supergiants in the last edition of the IPL but was released by the franchise.

"FYI - I won't be going into the IPL auction. My winter has been too busy with all my travel & I don't want to spend April/May away too!," he said via a tweet.
