The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction will take place on February 12 and 13. Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman have been put in the top category for the 2022 IPL.
Among the 1214 participants in the auction, nine Bangladesh cricketers have been listed. Shakib and Mustafiz are placed in the top category, with a base price of 2 crores. However, the other seven cricketers’ names were not revealed.
Shakib's base price in the last edition of IPL was two crore rupees and the base price of Mustafiz was one crore.
There are 318 foreign and 896 local cricketers in this year's IPL auction. There are 49 cricketers registered in the highest base price category of Rs 2 crore.
BCCI secretary Jay Shah, in an official press, shared that the IPL Player Registration closed on January 20th, 2022. “Total of 1,214 players (896 Indian and 318 overseas players) have signed up to be part of the IPL 2022 Player Auction,” the release said.
The two-day Mega Auction will see 10 Teams bidding for some of the best performers in world cricket. The players’ list incorporates 270 capped, 903 uncapped and 41 Associate players.
The RPSG group-owned Lucknow franchise signed KL Rahul for Rs 17 crore, who became the most expensive IPL player.
Rahul is now the joint-highest-paid player in the IPL across seasons, along with Royal Challengers Bangalore's Virat Kohli, who was also signed for Rs 17 crore by Royal Challengers in 2018.
