After being freed from spot-fixing allegations, Sreesanth, who returned from cricket, received a shock. No franchise has shortlisted him in the auction for the 14th season of IPL.
The players are going to be auctioned on February 18 in Chennai, where the 38-year-old Kerala player kept his minimum price of Rs 75 lakh. Sreesanth, who recently returned from the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy after being released from a life ban, will be a dream to play again in the IPL.
At the same time, the base prices of Cheteshwar Pujara and Hanuma Vihari, who performed strongly in the Border Gavaskar Trophy on the Australia tour, are Rs 50 lakh and Rs 1 crore respectively.
The final list of players for the IPL 2021 auction was released on Thursday. This time the auction will see 292 players bidding. These will include 164 Indian, 125 foreign, and three players from associate countries. This time the auction will also include Arjun Tendulkar, son of Team India veteran cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Left-arm fast bowler Arjun has a base price of Rs 20 lakhs.
At the same time, Mitchell Starc and England’s Test captain Joe Root have kept themselves away from this year’s auction. At the same time, Shakib’s base price is two crore rupees. Shakib has 10 more players in the base price of 20 million. These include Harbhajan Singh, Glenn Maxwell, Kedar Jadhav, Steve Smith, Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, Liam Plunkett, Jason Roy, Mark Wood, and Coleen Ingram.
