This year, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced an updated 'uncapped players’ rule. Meaning, the number of senior Indian cricketers who have represented the nation will also be slotted in the ‘uncapped category’.

BCCI stated that any player who has not got an annual contract in the last five years or represented the country in this period will be considered an uncapped player for the upcoming 2025 season. This allowed Chennai Super Kings to retain their talismanic former skipper MS Dhoni.
