Post-Auction Trading Window — Trade Players Like the IPL
Exclusive feature: 48-hour trading window for bilateral player swaps.
What is the Trading Window?
After an IPL auction, teams have a trading window for bilateral player swaps. CricSmart is the only platform replicating this.
How it works:
- Auction ends → 48-hour trading window opens
- Team owners propose trades: "My Rahul (₹5L) for your Amit (₹3L) + ₹2L purse"
- Other team accepts/rejects
- Admin approves → rosters and purses update automatically
This lets teams fix auction mistakes, balance squads, and adds strategic depth.
