He also said that most of the coaches expect that their players should play IPL at the age of 21 to 22 years.

To be selected in IPL, it is necessary to perform well in these tournaments.
Dev Dutt further said that to get selected in IPL and especially to enter the IPL auction as an uncapped player in the first phase of IPL, it is very important for you to perform well in big domestic tournaments like Ranji Trophy, Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He further said that now every state is organizing its own T20 Premier League. Giving an example, he said that there is Delhi Premier League in Delhi and this year a player like Tejashwi Singh Dahiya was included in the IPL auction from this Premier League. Kolkata Knight Riders have taken him into their team by paying Rs 3 crore more than his base price of Rs 30 lakh. He further said that apart from this, there are all the big domestic leagues. If you perform well in all of them then you will be selected for the IPL auction. Any big team of IPL will also take you in their team.

How is the base price of uncapped players selected?
Describing the base price of uncapped players and the entire selection process, Dev Dutt said that the base price of players mostly remains between Rs 10 lakh, 20 lakh and 30 lakh. He said that this base price is decided after looking at the performance of the players. In this, the players, their managers and also the selection committee of the state from which they are coming. He also said that if a player has played only the Premier League. Since he has not played a big domestic tournament like Ranji Trophy or Mushtaq Ali Trophy yet, it is expected that the base price of the player will be low. In the end, he also said that to keep the base price high and to be selected in a big team of IPL, it is very important for the player to perform consistently well in big tournaments like Ranji Trophy, Mushtaq Ali Trophy. This also gets the player selected in the IPL auction and in some big team.
