The IPL has released the final list of 43 players who will be up for auction in Goa on February 6, with Kevin Pietersen commanding the highest base price at $1.35 million. Michael Clarke and Andrew Flintoff are second and third with base prices of $1 million and $950,000 respectively.
The new list has only 43 players - the original had 111 - and includes 15 from Australia, four from Bangladesh, seven from England, three from New Zealand, five from South Africa, four from Sri Lanka, and five from West Indies.
South Africa's JP Duminy has a base price of $300,000, the highest for South Africa, while Kyle Mills' $150,000 is the best for New Zealand. Each franchise has a maximum of US$2 million to spend on their overseas signings in the auction.
More to follow.

I think all four of them will get in. Pakistani government will not let their players play in the IPL that means clubs will be looking to buy more players to re-fill their squads. So instead of each club looking for 2 players they will now look to buy 3-4 players from this auction. So hopefully around 20-24 players will be signed and I think all four of them are good enough to be in the Top 24. Shakib is certain to get in and the other 3s cheap price tag will work in their favour.

i hope all four do get in. but im still in doubt with Ash. he will probably struggle. HOPE NOT though...for the grace of Snow fall in UK!

WTF? Yes I am aware Shaun Marsh came from no where but how likely is it that it will happen again? And more surprisingly why is David Warner ignored while so many unknown Aussies get picked?

Shakib Al Hasan 75,000

I thought Shakib's base rate was $150,000

You idgit - many players are already contracted.
These players on the latest list are all the ones who are still without contracts. David Warner is signed up with Delhi Daredevils already, if I'm not mistaken....

Those Australian players play LOT of twenty20, and having the best infrastructure means the best domestic cricketers - they could own most of the international players.

The auctions are based purely on reputation and the team you play for. Current form means jack crap.

[nahaz]

Actually, When u consider how most of the other players are under $100k, it's not surprising our heores have that as STARTING price. Franklin is better than, or as good as, Mashrafee isn't he? He's also listed at 50k. Only one I don't agree with is Sakib's price tag. He shud be listed at 200k. There is a minor discrimination going on here. But hey, think shaun marsh was bought for 75k or sth last season, and ended up as best performer.

If Sakib and Ash do well this season, look at their prices sky-rocket next season! IPL is a good opportunity to learn how to handle pressure.

[Miraz]

Thushara, Kulasekera, Hendersen, a, b, c, d gets base price higher than Shakib?

It's purely a joke!!

Now I am not sure how the Bangladeshi players will be treated in the auction.

[riad]

I hope Shakib would boycott this joke IPL. Just look at other rahim/karim !!!!! Its an insult.

[uss01]

Yes, I was also shocked at the low price for Shakib. But then I realized that just because he gets an offer for $75,000 doesn't mean he has to take it. He can either reject it or negotiate it to a higher value. Remember, he doesn't have to take the offer just because they made it to him.

Can you prove it?

what would you consider when you buy a player for Twenty20? His Oneday records? Twenty20 records or Test/First Class records?

every single players IPL worth is judged by his international record. that explains why an ordinary 20-20 player like ishant sharma went like a hotcake last year. its cuz he had ponting hopping around like a frog in TEST CRICKET.

all indian players will be expected to get higher value than their worth. but for samit patel to get more than sakib is a travesty. even if he really is a better player. sakib has the test record which patel does not. end of story.

patel deserves more than ash, and may deserve more than mash and tamim. but not sakib.

I'm sorry but there is no comparison between the World's #1 all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and some overweight one hit wonder like Samit Patel.
