Dear HCL community,
Retention list locked
The Hand Cricket League confirms that the Season 2 retention window is closed. All retained players are now locked to their teams, and no further retention requests or player decisions will be accepted.
MSK retain Thishyaketh and Jaiprajen. TVK retain captain Sarvesh. SS retain captain Sudharshanan and Saran Teja. NN retain captain Naveen and Praveen. TRS retain captain Maddy.
Update issued 3 August: Hanish withdrew for one season after this retention notice was prepared. The Season 2 auction was subsequently completed offline before the planned date; the auction-summary notice is the latest official squad record.
Ayush retires from the league
HCL also announces that Ayush has retired from the Hand Cricket League and will not enter the Season 2 auction.
Ayush represented MSK during Season 1 and competed in both the league and knockout stages. His confirmed HCL record will remain part of the Season 1 archive.
The league thanks Ayush for his contribution, sportsmanship, and time as an HCL player, and wishes him the very best after his retirement from the competition.
The updated Season 2 retention list contains eight active players. HCL thanks Ayush for his service to the league.
