Eoin Morgan and Rassie van der Dussen have been added to the list for the IPL 2019 auctions off late. Riley Meredith from Australia and Indian cricketers like Mayank Dagar and Pranav Gupta are the other late entrants into the list of players who will be auctioned today ahead of the 2019 edition.

Morgan, who has played IPL earlier for four different teams, will be joining the players with the highest base price of INR 2 Crore. He played for the Mohali-based franchise in his last appearance in the cash-rich league back in 2017. Apart from Morgan, there are 19 other cricketers from England including players like Alex Hales, Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes for the auctions for the upcoming season.Ā 

Van der Dussen was impressive with his performance in the Mzansi Super League which concluded recently in South Africa as he played a very vital role in Jozi Starsā€™ victory in the final. He scored 59 off 54 balls against Cape Town Blitz in the final encounter last Sunday. The South African, with a base price of INR 50 Lakh, hit three back-to-back fifties for the champion side and was the highest run scorer of the league. He struck 469 runs in 11 innings at an average of 58.62.

Indian youngsters Dagar and Gupta are in the list with the lowest base price of 20 Lakh while Aussie uncapped pacer Meredith has a base price of INR 40 Lakh. Meredith has played only a couple of T20 games for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League.Ā 

AĀ total of 351 players will go under theĀ hammer and the list includes 228 Indians and 123 foreign players. A maximum of 50 Indian and 20 overseas players are allowed to be taken up in the auction for the upcoming 12th edition of IPL as 70 slots are there up for grab.Ā
