All released players in IPL 2023: List of players released by IPL teams 2023

The brutal but justified nature of Indian Premier League franchises have been put on display yet again with 10 of them releasing a combined total of 90 cricketers ahead of a mini-auction for the 16th season of the biggest T20 tournament in the world.

Teams haven’t even refrained from letting go of high-profile names who didn’t play according to their potential or price tag in IPL 2022. Readers must note that some teams would still be looking to re-buy these players probably at a cheaper price in the auction.

Some of the biggest names who participated in the 15th season of the IPL but have now been released are Kane Williamson, Mayank Agarwal, Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Nicholas Pooran, Ajinkya Rahane, Shardul Thakur and Jason Holder.
