The third season of the Andhra Premier League (APL) is set to get underway on June 30. The T20 competition will continue to feature six teams – Vizag Warriors, Coastal Riders, Godavari Titans, Bezawada Tigers, Rayalaseema Kings and Uttarandhra Lions. Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) held the auction for the upcoming edition on Thursday, May 16. Over 400 players registered themselves for the bidding process this year. They were divided into three categories. The players in Category A had a base price of Rs 1 lakh. For Category B, the base price was set at Rs 50,000 and it was Rs 25,000 for Category C and D. The organisers picked seven young, emerging cricketers through Rising Stars trials. Each team retained at least seven players and traded a few before coming to the auction.
Among all the registered players, 40 were signed by the six participating teams. Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is currently plying his trade in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Sunrisers Hyderabad, acquired the highest bid, with Godavari Titans securing his service for Rs 15.6 lakhs. M Dheeraj Kumar and M Madhav Rayudu follow Reddy on the list of the most expensive players. The Uttarandhra Lions signed Dheeraj for Rs 5.5 lakhs while Madhav joined them for Rs 5 lakhs.
A total of 19 matches will be played in the third season of the APL. Among them, 12 games will be held in Visakhapatnam while the remaining seven are scheduled to be held in Kadapa. The tournament will come to an end on July 13. Rayalaseema Kings are the reigning champions of the APL. They beat Coastal Riders by five wickets in last year’s final in Visakhapatnam to claim the title.
