The Hardik Pandya-Arshdeep Singh trade has been signed and it is a matter of time it was made public. Internal sources with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and franchises have revealed that the formal approval from the regulators has come and an official announcement is expected at any time.
The official sign-off is believed to have come around midday, and both franchises are understood to have been formally informed of the BCCI's approval.
It can also be confirmed that there has been no change in the league fee of either player. Pandya's salary will remain unchanged as it was at Mumbai Indians - INR 16.35 crore. Arshdeep, who was bought for INR 18 crore after Punjab Kings exercised their RTM card to secure him at the 2024 mega auction, will retain the same salary at Mumbai Indians.
