Another exciting edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is round the corner and fans can’t stop gushing about with the mega-auctions scheduled to take place in a few days time. Jaipur will host the auction for the 12th edition of the IPL which will be a one-day affair, unlike previous years, when it took place for two days.

Meanwhile, the cash-rich league is likely to begin from March 29; however, there are high chances it can get postponed. Moreover, the tournament is also likely to shift out of India with the general election in mind.

As per reports in ESPN Cricinfo, in an email sent to the franchise, the governing council have revealed the names of the marquee players (cricketers with a base price of INR 2 crore).

The young all-rounder from England, Sam Curran has grabbed the eyeballs in recent times. Although he is yet to make his international debut, he is likely to be on the radar of all the franchise.

The former New Zealand skipper, Brendon McCullum will also be up for grabs in the mega auctions. Previously, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) decided not to retain him after a poor show in the last edition of IPL. Although McCullum is on the wrong side of the age, he still has plenty to offer.

The veteran Sri Lanka fast bowler, Lasith Malinga, who was a part of the coaching staff of the Mumbai Indians last season, will also be a part of the auctions. Known for his deadly yorkers and slower deliveries, Malinga can destroy any batting on a given day despite age cropping up. Former Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Matthews also makes it to the list of marquee players.
