BCCI announce the final list of players set to go under hammer in mini-auction
350 names have been churned out from a total of 1355 registrations
The mini-auction takes place on December 16 at Abu Dhabi
Ahead of the much-awaited mini-auction for the 2026 Indian Premier League season, the BCCI have announced a fresh, and final set of players who are all set to go under the hammer later this month in Abu Dhabi.
All the 10 IPL franchises have begun their preparations for the all-important player auction, which takes place in less than a week now. Each one of them will sit under one roof at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on December 16 to finalize their 25-man squad.
A total of 1355 players had registered themselves in different base prices for the mini-auction. But according to latest reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have chopped it down to just 350 cricketers, leaving out more than 1000 names behind.
In the newly cut down list, 35 new names were added, including South Africa's wicket-keeper batter Quinton de Kock. While other names have not been revealed yet, but it is being said that some really big players have recently added themselves.
A couple of days ago, some Australian and Kiwi players communicated about their limited availability for the IPL next season to the BCCI. That included the likes of Josh Inglis, who is going to be available for just 25% of the season.
His fellow countrymen Ashton Agar and William Sutherland will be available for 80% and 65% of the season. New Zealand seamer Adam Milne is also among the players who will play limited matches in the showpiece event next year.
