The missing Pakistani players have also left the teams with a delicate balancing act to perform at the auction. According to IPL rules, teams can pick one-year replacements for the Pakistani players at the auction but will have to stay within the US$ 2 million cap. However, if the teams go for a replacement after the auction, they can spend the equivalent of the amount they would have paid the Pakistani player this year - this replacement will have to be from the original IPL list of 111 players released last week

so judging from this, i'm pretty spot on.
in my analysis i put 'selection patterns' into question. as in i arranged the players with which team they are suited in.
thankyou for the praise so far.
