No. of Retentions - 16 Players
Following a poor season in 2023, the Delhi Capitals have gone on a releasing spree as the franchise parted ways with several overseas and local players.
Among the foreign players, Proteas batsman Rilee Rossouw, English hard-hitting opener Phil Salt, Bangladesh left-arm seamer Mustafizur Rahman, and West Indies all-rounder Rovman Powell have been released.
As far as Indian players are concerned, the notable exclusions are Manish Pandey, Chetan Sakariya, Ripal Patel, Priyam Garg, Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Sarfaraz Khan.
