IPL Auction 2021 Full Players List: Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith and others who will go under hammer

The Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday unveiled the full list of players who are set to go under the hammer in the upcoming auction for the 2021 edition. Indian stalwarts Harbhajan Singh and Kedar Jadhav were among those named in the list of players as were international stars such as Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Shakib Al Hasan, Moeen Ali among others. While a total of 1,114 had initially registered for the auction, the list was eventually shortened to 292, of which 164 are Indians, 125 are players from other full member nations. Three players are from the associate nations. A total of 61 slots however, will be available on the main auction day that have to be filled by the eight participating franchises. The league had earlier announced that its auction is to be held on 18 February, with teams set to splash out more than $25 million dollars (20.64 million euros) to hire stars from around the world. The announcement sets up the auction ahead of the cash rich tournament’s start in April, after England’s tour of India ends on 28 March. Officially, each of the eight teams is allowed to spend nearly $12 million in salaries for the 10-week tournament but because many have a high number of retained players the cash available for the auction will differ. Kings XI Punjab will enter the auction with the biggest purse of $7 million followed by Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore on $4.75 million. Rajasthan Royals will have $4.7 million after releasing high-earning captain Steve Smith, who could be a major target for one of the other teams. Punjab, Bangalore and Rajasthan are all rebuilding after a disappointing 2020 season when the tournament was held in United Arab Emirates because of the coronavirus pandemic. Champions Mumbai Indians released seven players and will have about $2 million to bid. Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins was the most expensive foreign player in 2020, costing Kolkata Knight Riders $2.1 million at last year’s auction. The IPL is to be increased to 10 teams, but media reports say this will only happen in 2022.
