As many as 350 leading cricketers from India and abroad will go under the auctioneer's hammer in Bangalore on January 8 and 9 when Indian Premier League franchises bidding for their services in the fourth season of the lucrative Twenty20 League.
Barring a dozen players, including Indian superstars Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virender Sehwag, who have been retained by five franchises in advance of the auction as per IPL player regulations, most of the world's top players are up for grabs.
The list of players has 11 out of 12 century makers in the three earlier IPL seasons, including the Twenty20 league's fastest centurion Yusuf Pathan and 2010 ICC ODI Player of the Year AB de Villers of South Africa.
Other established IPL performers available at the auction include current India players Gautam Gambhir, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and Yuvraj Singh, as well as the 2009 IPL's most successful bowler (38 wickets) RP Singh.
A notable omission is former India captain Anil Kumble, who was among 22 players with the highest reserve price of $400,000. He withdrew from the auction on Tuesday citing business commitments.
