Earlier, the BCCI announced a 350-player shortlist for the IPL 2026 mini-auction from more than 1,300 registrations. However, a revised list added nine more cricketers later the same day. Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) will enter with the largest purse of ₹64.30 crore and 13 vacancies to fill.
Several players who were added to the IPL 2026 auction list were removed from the official portal by December 13, leaving fans confused. These names were visible for only a short time before they were removed again.
Three overseas players were also removed: South African cricketer Ethan Bosch, Australian all-rounder Chris Green, and Malaysia’s Virandeep Singh. Virandeep was the only player from an Associate nation in the entire auction pool, which made his removal even more noticeable.
