PKL 10: Recategorized players list for each Pro Kabaddi team

The 10th edition of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is all set to take place in the latter half of 2023. While the official dates for the must-awaited league are not yet out, it is likely to be in late November or December.

Before the league, all eyes will be on the auction. The official auction, which will take place on September 8 and 9, will witness several top players going under the hammer. The recategorized list for the upcoming auction is out as well. It will be interesting to see which player is being retained by the franchises and who picks up the highest amount.

Ahead of the auction, the franchises will be allowed to retain players and nominate young players for the auction. In the last edition, franchises retained 19 Elite players, 13 young players and 38 new young players ahead of the auction. They also nominated 41 new young players.

Also, the players will be divided into four categories- A, B, C and D. They are further divided based on their role- All-rounders, Defenders and Raiders in each category. The base price for each category will vary too. The total salary purse for each franchise was INR 4.4 Crores last year, which has been increased to INR 5 Crores. Also, the base price for Category C and Category D has been increased as well.

The players in Category A have a base price of INR 30 Lakhs, the Category B players has INR 20 Lakhs, Category C players had a base price of 13 Lakhs and the final category, Category D players had INR 9 Lakhs as the base price.
