England Legend criticises BCCI for overlapping IPL 2025 auction date with Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test

Former England captain Michael Vaughan spoke about a heated topic around IPL 2025 mega auction. The auction are scheduled to be held November 24 and 25 in Saudi Arabia, which directly overlaps the first Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) between India and Australia. The IPL auction will overlap the important third and fourth days of the opening Test of the BGT.
