Stokes, Morgan, Woakes top attractions at IPL auction

© ESPNcricinfo Ltd England allrounders Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes and their limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan are among the seven players who have listed themselves at the highest base price of INR 2 crore (approx US $298,000) for the IPL player auction scheduled in Bangalore on February 20. India seamer Ishant Sharma, Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews, and the Australian fast bowlers Mitchell Johnson and Pat Cummins are the rest of the players in this set.


Also in the top bracket

INR 1.5 crore: Johnny Bairstow, Trent Boult, Brad Haddin, Nathan Lyon, Kyle Abbott, Jason Holder

*INR 1 crore = INR 100 lakh = INR 10000000 = USD 149 thousand approx
INR 1 lakh = INR 100 thousand = INR 100000 = USD 1490 approx
A total of 799 players were part of the initial roster which would be pruned once the franchises submit their choices before the deadline this weekend. There were 160 capped players from eight countries - leaving out Bangladesh and Pakistan - and 639 from India, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and West Indies. Of the 24 capped Indian cricketers, everyone barring Ishant has listed their base price at INR 30 lakh.

Considering they will have to put a majority of their players back into the auction in 2018, some franchise officials said they would not be too aggressive in buying players this season. However, they did agree that there would be considerable interest in the English players.

Although the IPL is yet to decide on the retention rules, franchises expect the right-to-match option to be available. This allows franchises to buy back a specific number of the players they have released for the auction, by matching the highest bid those players attract; if they match the bid they win the player.
With the impressive all-round skills he showed during England's recent tour of India, Stokes tops the list of marquee players that several franchises have said they would like to have.

Quick Facts: IPL 2017 Auction After Andrew Strauss took over as the ECB director of cricket last year, he has allowed England players the freedom to play in domestic T20 leagues like the IPL to gain wider exposure. Morgan, who has played for three different teams, Jos Butler (Mumbai Indians), Sam Billings (Delhi Daredevils), Chris Jordan (Royal Challengers Bangalore) have all commented on the positive influence of playing the IPL.
Many England players who attended media briefings during the six-match limited-overs series in India last month spoke about the attraction of the IPL. Wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow (INR 1.5 crore), hard-hitting opening batsmen Alex Hales and Jason Roy (INR 1 crore) and fast bowlers Jordan and Tymal Mills (INR 50 lakh) have put their names up for auction.

Franchises retained a total of 140 players and released 89 ahead of this IPL auction. Among those released and now trying to make a return are Johnson (Kings XI Punjab, INR 6.5 crore), Mathews (Delhi Daredevils, INR 7.5 crore), Ishant (Rising Pune Supergiants, INR 3.8 crore) and Morgan (Sunrisers Hyderabad, INR 1.5 crore).

Former South Africa fast bowler Kyle Abbott, who recently moved to Hampshire as a Kolpak player, has listed his base price at INR 1.5 cr. Abott was bought by Kings XI in 2016 for INR 2.1 crore but was released in December. Another player attempting to make a return is New Zealand fast bowler Trent Boult, who was hired by Sunrisers in 2015 for INR 3.8 crore. Boult has now listed his base price at INR 1.5 crore.
West Indies ODI captain Jason Holder has also kept his price at INR 1.5 crore. He was with Kolkata Knight Riders, who had bought him for INR 75 lakh in 2014, until last season. India left-arm spinner Pawan Negi, who was the second-most expensive player bought at last year's auction by the Daredevils for INR 8.5 crore comes into the auction with a base price of INR 30 lakh.

IPL 2017: What can we expect from the player auction

IPL 2017 auction on Feb 20 in Bengaluru will see teams battle it out even before the first ball is bowled.

The auction for the tenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is exactly two weeks away and all eight franchises will be busy formulating their strategy for it. Players’ auction is not a new phenomenon for the think tanks of all the eight teams but it has also proved to be quite dynamic in nature. To bag the right players, a team needs to have a proper auction strategy in place which is why the season begins even before the first ball is bowled.
Let’s take a look at the various plans that the eight teams might employ at this year’s auction to be held on February 20 in Bengaluru.
Gujarat Lions (GL)
In their maiden IPL campaign, the Gujarat Lions managed to secure the top spot in the group stage. This meant that the need for change as far as the Lions were concerned is minimal and thereby they have retained their crux of Indian and foreign players. However, noticeably they have released seven of their Indian players which automatically means that they will need reinforcements in this area.
Purse spent – 51.65 crore
Purse remaining – 14.35 crore
Total Players in the squad – 16 (limit: 25)
Overseas Players in the squad – 6 (limit: 9)
Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS)
Rising Pune Supergiants will be led by MS Dhoni in IPL 2017. (Source: Instagram) In contrast to Lions’ campaign, Rising Pune Supergiants had a completely different 2016 IPL debut season as they finished seventh in the table. They’ve already released the likes of Kevin Pietersen from their squad and former-England captain has gone on to announce his unavailability from the competition. However, with the likes of MS Dhoni, Ajinkya Rahane, Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith the batting department doesn’t seem depleted. It is the bowling, though, which looks extremely weak and this is something that Pune will look to strengthen.

Purse spent – 48.5 crore
Purse remaining – INR 17.5 crore
Total Players in the squad – 17
Overseas Players in the squad – 5
Delhi Daredevils (DD)
After investing heavily on their strategy of backing youngsters, Delhi Daredevils will be looking to back their stand in 2017. The think tank of Paddy Upton and Rahul Dravid will be looking to further implement this strategy. So a few more youngsters going Delhi’s way seems extremely likely. However, what the Daredevils will be looking to add on to their squad is a bit more experience to ensure that they survive the long run of the competition.

Purse spent – 42.9 crore
Purse remaining – 23.1 crore
Total Players in the squad – 17
Overseas Players in the squad – 5
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP)
Gurkeerat Mann in action during last season’s IPL. (Source: BCCI) In 2016, Kings XI Punjab were left languishing at the bottom and this was primarily due to the fact that they did not have a potent pace attack which could knock teams off. Mitchell Johnson wasn’t certainly at his prime and has been expectedly released. The Indian set of players too lacked the spark to make inroads into the opponents’ batting line up. Hence this is one of the crucial areas that they will be looking to strengthen if they wish to finish further up in the table. With the likes of David Miller, Manan Vohra, Murali Vijay, Glenn Maxwell, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Shaun Marsh and Wriddhiman Saha the batting department does look strong.
Purse spent – 42.65 crore
Purse remaining – 23.135 crore
Total Players in the squad – 19
Overseas Players in the squad – 5
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)
Despite having a consistent run of form at the top of the table, Kolkata Knight Riders have released quite a few notable players which includes the likes of Morne Morkel, Jason Holder, John Hastings and Colin Munro. Adding to that is the ban on Andre Russel which will be a huge setback for the two-time champions. This means that quite a few reinforcements are expected to be on the way. While the spin department looks well settled it is the middle order and the pace attack that KKR will be looking to strengthen as it doesn’t seem strong enough.

Purse spent – 46.25 crore
Purse remaining – 19.75 crore
Total Players in the squad – 14
Overseas Players in the squad – 4
Mumbai Indians (MI)
Mumbai Indians have retained a total of 20 players for this season of the IPL and it looks pretty well settled in all the departments. So it will be hard to predict who they will go for. But whoever they look to prize away from the auction it must be well thought of as they also have the least purse strings to loosen among the other teams. They cannot afford to be unmindful as they did last year, in the case of Nathu Singh, who was bought for a whopping Rs. 3.2 crore from a base price of Rs. 10 lakh. He was ultimately released this year after failing to live up to expectations. They have released the Kiwi pair of Corey Anderson and Martin Guptill. Hence a couple of batsmen and allrounders might well be what MI will be looking for at this years auction.

Purse spent – 54.445 crore
Purse remaining – 11.555 crore
Total Players in the squad – 20
Overseas Players in the squad – 6
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)
Virat Kohli will be pivotal to Royal Challengers Bangalores’ chances in the upcoming IPL 2017 season. Last year’s IPL saw Royal Challengers Bangalore score heavily with their robust batting line up. But they did struggle to defend the scores they piled up. If there is one department that RCB will be looking to strengthen this time around it will be their bowling, especially their death bowling which has let them down consistently. Mitchell Starc alone will not be enough to plug the gap on the runs as he needs support from the other end. Having already released the likes of Chris Jordan and Varun Aaron, it will be interesting to see who they pick from this year’s auction. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli’s recent praise of Ben Stokes also gives rise to speculation that RCB might break the bank to capture the India captain’s on-field rival.

Purse spent – 53.175 crore
Purse remaining – 12.825 crore
Total Players in the squad – 20
Overseas Players in the squad – 8
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)
Champions from last season, Sunrisers Hyderabad haven’t tinkered around with their squad all that much as far as retaining and releasing of players is concerned. With David Warner in sublime form alongside Shikhar Dhawan, Naman Ojha, Deepak Hooda, Kane Williamson and Yuvraj Singh, the batting department looks pretty strong. The bowling too looks well settled with Mustafizur Rahman and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar expected to lead the attack. However, with the likes of Imran Tahir , Pawan Negi and M Ashwin up for grabs they could do well with some reinforcements in the spin departments. If that is the case then we could see a repeat of their feat from last year.

Purse spent – 45.1 crore
Purse remaining – 20.9 crore
Total Players in the squad – 17
Overseas Players in the squad – 5
