PKL 2024 auction: Full list of retained players of all 12 Pro Kabaddi teams

Season 10's most valuable player, Aslam Inamdar has been retained by Puneri Paltan while Dabang Delhi have retained their star raiding duo of Ashu Malik and Naveen Kumar

The players' auction for the 11th season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 2024) is set to take place on August 15 and August 16 in Mumbai. Ahead of the auction, all 12 teams have finalised their list of retained players, featuring a mix of surprising and expected choices.

The tar players such as Pawan Sehrawat, Pradeep Narwal, Fazel Atrachali, and Maninder Singh have been released by their respective teams. Despite their inconsistent performances in the previous edition of the PKL, both Pawan and Pradeep are anticipated to spark intense bidding during the auction.

Among the retained players, standout names include Aslam Inamdar, season 10’s most valuable player, who has been retained by Puneri Paltan. Dabang Delhi has chosen to keep their star raiding duo, Ashu Malik and Naveen Kumar, while Jaipur Pink Panthers have retained their key player, Arjun Deshwal.

In total, 88 players have been retained across three categories: Elite Retained Players (ERP), Retained Young Players (RYP), and Existing New Young Players (ENYP), with the latter being a new format introduced for season 11.

The defending champions, Puneri Paltan, lead the way with 12 retained players, the highest among all teams. Tamil Thalaivas follow closely with 11 retained players, while Haryana Steelers have retained 9 players. Conversely, two-time PKL champions Jaipur Pink Panthers and Gujarat Giants have retained the fewest players, with both teams retaining just five players each.
