Sam Curran, Ben Stokes and Cameron Green, all of whom could potentially end up as the most expensive buys in 2023 IPL auction, have been listed in the second set to come up for bidding on December 23. The auction will begin at 2.30pm IST in Kochi with the batters’ set which features Indian opener Mayank Agarwal and the England pair of Joe Root and Harry Brook.
The final auction pool has been halved to 405 players from the originally registered 991, with a maximum of 87 slots available to be filled by the 10 franchises. Of these, 30 will be overseas players.
On Tuesday the IPL released the final auction pool stating 36 new names were added based on requests from the franchises. A total of 273 Indian players, and 132 overseas – including four from Associate countries – are part of the final auction pool. There are 119 capped players alongside 286 uncapped players.
As per the norm, the auction will begin with capped players going for bidding with the IPL creating the order by breaking up the list into different sets based on the specialisation. In an e-mail to franchises on Tuesday, the IPL listed the order as: batters, allrounders, wicketkeeper-batters, fast bowlers and spinners. The same order will be followed for the uncapped players.
