MUMBAI: The Indian Premiere League
(IPL) player auction will be held on
16 February in Bengaluru. As of now
there is no clarity on the number of
players as the deadline for franchises
to submit the original list has been
deferred to 4 February 2015.

India discard Yuvraj Singh, former
England skipper Kevin Pietersen,
wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh
Karthik, South African cricketer
Hashim Amla are amongst marquee
players to go under hammer this
auction.

Unlike last year, when the auction
was a two-day event containing all
players barring those retained by the
teams, this auction will be shorter
but will still be significant for a few
franchises. Having released big-name
players, Delhi Daredevils and Royal
Challengers Bangalore are likely to
be the big spenders this time.

As per reports, Daredevils has the
maximum purse available this time
with Rs 400,000,000. Royal
Challengers has Rs 210,000,000 in its
kitty, having released Yuvraj who was
the most expensive player last year
with a bid of Rs 140,000,000.

Though
Yuvraj finished as the team's second
highest run-scorer, Royal Challengers
were just above Daredevils with five
wins.

England all-rounder Ravi Bopara,
Australia's Twenty20 captain Finch,
India seamer Zaheer Khan fall in the
Rs 10,000,000 bracket. Vijay opted
for a base price of Rs 5,000,000.
