The bugle has been sounded for the 19th season of the Indian Premier League. The auction of the 19th season of IPL i.e. IPL 2026 will be held in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, December 16. This time around 350 players will be bid in the auction. However, only a maximum of 77 players will be sold in the auction. Before the IPL 2026 auction, Australia’s dreaded all-rounder Cameron Green has made a big revelation.

Cameron Green is included in the batsman list in the IPL 2026 auction. He has been included in the first set of the auction. However, after this the discussion started whether all-rounder Cameron Green will play only as a batsman in IPL 2026? Now Green himself has answered this.

I will also bowl in IPL 2026- Cameron Green

Cameron Green has said that he will play as an all-rounder in IPL 2026. It is clear that Green will also bowl. Green said that due to the manager’s mistake, his name got included in the batter list in the IPL auction. He clearly blamed the manager for this mistake.

Speaking to the media during the training session before the third Test of the 2025-26 Ashes series, Cameron Green said that the manager made a mistake while registering for IPL 2026. The manager chose the option of a batsman instead of an all-rounder. Green confirmed that he is completely fit and will also bowl in IPL 2026.

Green can be sold most expensive in auction

The base price of Cameron Green in the mini auction of IPL 2026 is Rs 2 crore. He can be sold for the highest price in the auction. Kolkata Knight Riders will have the most money in the auction. In such a situation, KKR can buy Green as a replacement for Andre Russell. Cameron Green was sold for Rs 21 crore in the mock auction of former Indian op-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Green was taken by Chennai Super Kings in the mock auction.

Sarfaraz Khan may get a big bid in the IPL 2026 mini auction. His stormy innings of 64 runs in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is indicating something similar. Today, the match between Mumbai and Haryana was played in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, in which Sarfaraz played a brilliant inning of 64 runs in just 25 balls. His innings seems to be enough to attract the team owners.

The Super League matches of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025 started from December 12. In the first match of the Super League, Sarfaraz was able to score only 5 runs against Hyderabad, but he thrashed the Haryana bowlers. He scored a superfast fifty in 18 balls against Haryana. He played an inning of 64 runs in 25 balls, during which his strike rate was 256. In this innings, 9 fours and 3 sixes came from his bat.

Of these, 96 are capped and 14 are uncapped. Let us tell you that 31 slots for foreign players are vacant for all 10 teams together. Know which 10 foreign players everyone will keep an eye on, out of these, there are 3 who can get Rs 10 crore or more.

Cameron Green (Australia)

Cameron Green’s name is being discussed the most in the IPL 2026 auction. The base price of Green is Rs 2 crore. Green is a batting all-rounder, who has played for Mumbai in 2023 and Bengaluru in 2024. In 29 matches played in IPL, he has scored 707 runs and taken 16 wickets. His IPL price can also go up to Rs 10 crore.

David Miller (South Africa)

South Africa’s explosive batsman David Miller is called a player of big matches. The base price of Miller is Rs 2 crore, for which many teams can go to the big bid to buy him. The middle order batsman has played 141 matches for 4 teams in IPL, in which he has 3077 runs in his name. Miller’s strike rate is 138.60. His bid can also go up to Rs 10 crore.

Liam Livingstone (England)

England’s explosive batsman Liam Livingston was a part of the champion team (RCB) in the last edition, although RCB did not retain him. 32-year-old Livingston can play an important role in bowling along with batting. He has played a total of 49 matches in IPL, in which he has scored 1051 runs. His strike rate is 158.76. He also has 13 wickets to his name in IPL, it will be interesting to see which team buys him.

Jamie Smith (England)

Everyone’s eyes will also be on 25-year-old wicket-keeper batsman Jamie Smith, he has not played in IPL before. His base price is Rs 2 crore. If we look at the records of T20 International, Smith has scored 130 runs in 5 matches. In T20 he scored 1687 runs in 97 matches, KKR is looking for a wicket keeper.

Steve Smith (Australia)

Steve Smith played his last IPL match in 2021, this time he is in the auction again. Smith’s base price is Rs 2 crore, although Smith will not be anyone’s first choice for this format. Smith is a big name in the cricket world, but teams may hesitate in buying him. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the bids on him, or he may remain unsold. Smith has scored 2485 runs in 103 matches in IPL.

Jason Holder (West Indies)

There was a bid of more than Rs 5 crore for Jason Holder in 2023. Holder will be in the auction again this time, his base price is Rs 2 crore. However, this time the difficulty for him is that he has not played IPL for the last 2 years, so it will be interesting to see whether any team would like to bet on him this time. The positive thing about Holder is that he can bat well in the lower order. If we look at Holder’s IPL record, he has taken 53 wickets in 46 matches played for 5 teams and scored 259 runs in 27 innings.

Lungi Ngidi (South Africa)

After Green and Miller, Lungi Ngidi is such a player, it would not be surprising if the bid on him goes beyond Rs 10 crore or more. His performance in the T20 series against India has been good, he dismissed Shubman Gill in the first over of both the opening T20 matches. Ngidi also tricks the batsmen with his speed. Ngidi has taken 29 wickets in 16 matches for 2 teams in IPL. He was a part of the RCB team last year but could play only 2 matches.

Tim Seifert (New Zealand)

The base price of New Zealand wicketkeeper batsman Tim Seifert is Rs 1.5 crore. 30-year-old Seifert played the last IPL season in 2022, he played only 2 matches for Delhi that season. Seifert scored only 26 runs in total 3 matches played in IPL. It remains to be seen whether Seifert is able to become a part of any IPL team this time.

Jonny Bairstow (England)

The base price of England wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow is Rs 1 crore. He came as a replacement for Mumbai Indians last year to play the knockout matches, in which he performed effectively. Because of this, he can get a good amount in the auction to be held this time. 36-year-old Bairstow had scored 85 runs in 2 matches last year, and did good wicket-keeping. He has played a total of 52 matches in IPL, in which he has scored 1674 runs. Kolkata can make a big bid to buy him.

Quinton de Kock (South Africa)

Quinton de Kock played an explosive inning of 90 runs in the second T20 against India, he also scored a century in the ODI. However, there is a lack of consistency in his performance, which can come in the way of him fetching big money in the auction. De Kock was in Kolkata Knight Riders last year, but the team released him. It will be interesting to see which team buys him.

32-year-old De Kock has played a total of 115 matches for 6 teams in IPL, in which he has scored 3309 runs. He has scored 2 centuries and 24 half-centuries in IPL. De Kock’s base price in the IPL 2026 auction is Rs 1 crore.

The number of players in the IPL 2026 auction has once again reduced to 350. A few days ago, on December 9, the number of players included in the auction list was increased to 359. Now just 3 days before the mini auction, there is news that the same 9 players have been removed from the list. It is being told that the name of Swastik Chikara is also included among the players who have been dropped.

According to News18, the names of the players who were out of the auction list are Mani Shankar, Chama Milind, KL Srijit, Swastik Chikara, Rahul Raj, Virat Singh, Virandeep Singh, Chris Green and Ethan Bosch. All these players had set their base price at Rs 30 lakh, among which Swastik Chikara was released by RCB. BCCI had added these 9 players to the auction list a few days ago.

Mani Shankar is a big-hitting player of Tripura, while Swastik Chikara was included in its squad by RCB last year. Chikara did not get a chance to play even a single match. Virat Singh is a player from Jharkhand and has played for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The name of Malaysian all-rounder player Virandeep Singh has also been removed from the auction, who has taken more than 3000 runs and 105 wickets in T20 cricket. His base price was also Rs 30 lakh. Ethan Bosch of South Africa and Chris Green of Australia are also out, whose base price was Rs 75 lakh.

More than 1000 players had registered their names for the auction. Of these, BCCI had shortlisted only 350 players. After that 9 new players were added to the list, but now the same number of players have been removed. The auction will start on December 16 at 2:30 pm in Abu Dhabi.
