With nine new teams added to the roster from this season, the movement of players across teams has been particularly hectic. When the domestic season began, Sikkim were the only team to rely wholly on homegrown players. But after losing every single match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy and finishing at the bottom of the Plate Group, they too have drafted in three professional players.
Puducherry, meanwhile, had signed up several players under their domestic quota, being allowed special leeway by the CoA to do so past the normal deadline since their association had come into being later, but with other teams protesting, the rule was reversed and they had to let go of several of those players and field a more homegrown squad. They retain the three professionals they had signed up.
