350 players shortlisted for IPL 2026 mini-auction
The IPL 2026 mini-auction, scheduled to take place on December 16 in Abu Dhabi, will feature a total of 350 players shortlisted to go under the hammer. The pool features 240 Indian and 110 overseas cricketers.
40 players have listed themselves at the maximum base price of INR 2 crore. Interestingly, only two Indians, Venkatesh Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi, feature in this elite bracket. Another key talking point is Cameron Green, who has registered himself as a specialist batter for this auction cycle.
reen is widely expected to become the most expensive buy of the event and will appear in the very first set of capped batters. The final shortlist also includes notable additions such as Quinton de Kock, Dunith Wellalage, and George Linde, none of whom were part of the original longlist.
A total of 1390 players registered for the Player Auction; however, it was truncated to 350 following discussions with the franchises. In total, franchises will compete for 77 available slots, including 31 for overseas players.
Indian players: Sadek Hussain, Vishnu Solanki, Sabir Khan, Brijesh Sharma, Kanishk Chouhan, Aaron George, Jikku Bright, Srihari Nair, Madhav Bajaj, Shreevathsa Acharya, Yashraj Punja, Sahil Parakh, Roshan Waghsare, Yash Dicholkar, Ayaz Khan, Dhurmil Matkar, Naman Pushpak, Parikshit Valsangkar, Purav Agarwal, Rishabh Chouhan, Sagar Solanki, Izaz Sawariya and Aman Shekawat.
Overseas players: Arab Gul (Afghanistan), Quinton de Kock (South Africa) Connor Eztherhuizen (South Africa), George Linde (South Africa), Bayanda Majola (South Africa), Traveen Mathew (Sri Lanka), Binura Fernando (Sri Lanka), Kusal Perera (Sri Lanka), Dunith Wellalage (Sri Lanka), Miles Hammond (England), Dan Lategan (England), Akeem Auguste (West Indies).
