Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra are some of the global names that have thrown their hat in the ring for the IPL Auction. One notable absentee, however, is Jofra Archer. The England allrounder was released by Mumbai Indians and has not enrolled for the auction. A total of 1,166 players have been registered for the IPL Auction and the list has reportedly been shared with the IPL franchises. The auction is scheduled to take place on 19 December in Dubai. As per a Cricbuzz report, among the 1,166 players, 830 are Indian and 336 are overseas players. The list includes 212 capped, 909 uncapped and 45 Associate team players. Of the 830 Indians, 18 are capped players: Varun Aaron, KS Bharat, Kedar Jadhav, Siddarth Kaul, Dhawal Kulkarni, Shivam Mavi, Shahbaz Nadeem, Karun Nair, Manish Pandey, Harshal Patel, Chetan Sakariya, Mandeep Singh, Barinder Sran, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Hanuma Vihari, Sandeep Warrier and Umesh Yadav. Of the capped Indian players, only four - Harshal Patel, Kedar Jadhav, Shardul Thakur, and Umesh Yadav - have set their base price at Rs 2 crore. All four were released by their respective franchise ahead of the mini-auction. The remaining 14 Indian capped players will go up for bids at their base price of Rs 50 lakh. Archer, who has had injury affected seasons, is believed to be sitting out with a latest physical blow. Still, there are quite a few England players who will be up for grabs in two weeks time.
