December 22, 2010 (Island Cricket): Forty-seven cricketers, who are yet to make their international cricket debuts for Sri Lanka, are included in the preliminary auction list of 416 players for next year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) auction.
Of the 416 players named in the preliminary list, 93 are Sri Lankan. Lasith Malinga is the only Sri Lankan player to have been retained by a franchise, while all others who represented an IPL franchise in the previous three seasons have been released to be auctioned.
Malinga is the fourth player retained by the Mumbai Indians, and one of only 12 to be retained. Although the base retention price set for the fourth retained player is $500,000, Malinga is expected to have received a much larger sum by the Mumbai Indians.
Franchises have till December 24 to express their interest in players on the preliminary list. The final list will be pruned down before next January’s auction based on players the franchises show interest in.
Apart from players entering the auction with a reserve price of $200,000 and more, 87 Sri Lankans enter the auction with a reserve price of $100,000 or less.
With a reserve price of $100,000, Kosala Kulasekara has the highest reserve price amongst uncapped Sri Lankans on the list. Angelo Perera and Madura Perera are next with the second highest reserve price amongst uncapped Sri Lankans, with a reserve price of $50,000.
Reserve prices are set by the player and in some cases prices are strategically set low to encourage bids.
The final selling price will reflect the players’ annual income before taxes, but will be entirely reliant on selection. A player is expected to earn at least 60% of his final selling price per annum.
The full list of Sri Lankan players on the preliminary IPL auction list, below the $200,000 reserve price range, is as follows (click here for information on players above the $200,000 reserve price range):
