Ipl Auction News

According to reports, the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auctions ahead of the 15th edition of the tournament will be held in Bangalore on February 12 and 13. The tournament is set to feature 10 teams in the upcoming season, with Lucknow and Ahmedabad franchises added to the competition.

Well, the IPL Auction certainly got a new kick-in, with some players going for crazy cash, including the usual suspects in the form of Maxwell and Morris. But when it came to the new players, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith and Kyle Jamieson came out as the Richie Rich-es in the auction.

Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim, who went unsold in the recently concluded IPL auction, has admitted that he did have hopes of getting picked but has stated that he has since moved on from the disappointment. The wicket-keeper batsman had a base price of 75 lakh but had no franchises who wanted him.
