Ipl 2014 players

No Pakistan players in
2014 IPL auction
Bangalore, January 28
A total of 233 capped
players were named in
the list for the 2014 IPL
auctions but the list did
not contain any Pakistan
players while big names
such as Michael Clarke and
Kumar Sangakkara were
conspicuous by their
absence.
In a register of capped
players released to the
franchises, 46 players each
were from India and
Australia while there were
39 Sri Lankans and 29
West Indians on the list.
When asked about the
non-inclusion of Pakistan
players, a franchise
representative,on the
condition of anonymity,
told Mumbai Mirror: "It is
not surprising. That has
been the trend of late,
anyway. The presence of
the Pakistan players
creates security concerns
for the team and there is
no guarantee that the
franchises would be
willing to buy them if
they are in the auction."
The IPL governing council
also revealed the base
prices for the players - the
minimum price is Rs 30
Lakhs while the maximum
base price is Rs 2 Crore.
Yuvraj Singh, Virender
Sehwag, Dinesh Karthik
and Amit Mishra were
some of the Indian
players in the 2 Crore
bracket which also had
international players like
Jacques Kallis, Mitchell
Johnson, Kevin Pietersen
and Brendon McCullum.
The top ranked T20I
batsmen Alex Hales was
also part of the 2 Crore
bracket while New
Zealand sensation Corey
Anderson bagged himself
a base price of Rs 1 Crore.
The IPL GC will soon
announce the list of
