IPL's trading window opens on Monday

The Indian Premier League's month-long trading window will open on Monday. There will be no salary cap on players traded, while all teams can trade only with the consent of the player. Teams will not be allowed temporary replacements to cover the partial unavailability of a player during the season, but teams could sign up a temporary replacement if an already-contracted player is unavailable for the whole season. An auction will be held on Feb 6 for teams to sign up fresh players.
