The BCCI is the national governing body for Indian cricket. They own and run the Indian Premier League (IPL), which is the largest cricketing league.

In the Indian Premier League (IPL), teams build their entire squads through the Auction System. Franchises have a fixed salary purse and bid against each other for players who are listed in the auction pool.

Other leagues like the NBA use the Draft System, where teams take turns selecting a set number of eligible players and otherwise independently sign players.
