Last-minute changes to full list of players for IPL auction 2024, 3 international cricketers withdraw, 2 Indians added

Initially, BCCI released a list of 333 players for the IPL 2024 auction but that is likely to change as 3 international players withdraw at the last minute. A few last-minute changes to the full list of players set to go under the hammer in the auction after an upcoming England spinner, and 2 Bangladesh cricketers declared their unavailability for the 17th season of IPL.

The 3 international players who withdrew are England’s Rehan Ahed and Bangladesh duo Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam. This decision came on the eve of the mega-event. Till morning on Tuesday, IPL’s official website did not have Rehan in the list of players set to be auctioned but it continued to display Shoriful and Taskin’s name.

While the ECB assured full availability of all its players for IPL subject to fitness and national duties, it reportedly did not want spinner Regan to be a part of IPL at such an early stage in his career. Rehan had a base price of INR 50 lakh and was on the list of players for franchises.

Other England players in the IPL will be strictly monitored by the ECB managing director Rob Key given the T20 World Cup that starts in the West Indies and the UAS in the IPL 2024. Harry Brook, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes and Phil Salt are some of the high-profile England players in the auction pool.

Shoriful and Taskin withdrew from IPL 2024 because they wanted to take part in Bangladesh’s home series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe between March and April.

Apart from 3 withdrawals, there were a couple of additions to the list of players set to be auctioned. Maharashtra batter Kaushal Tambe and Rajasthan’s all-rounder Sahil Dhiwan were added to the list.
South Africa pacer Nandre Burger, who made his debut against India, has been moved from the uncapped list to the capped one.
