Crores of rupees are left in the purse of all the teams. Many veteran and young players from India and abroad will be seen in this auction, but some international stars will not be seen in the auction this time. So here is the list of those 5 international players who will not be a part of the IPL 2026 auction.

1. Glenn Maxwell

After playing 13 seasons in IPL, taking 2819 runs and 41 wickets, Australia’s legendary all-rounder Glenn Maxwell himself has confirmed that he will not be a part of the IPL 2026 auction. Although he has not taken retirement from the Indian Premier League. He was released by Punjab Kings before the 2026 auction.

2. Andre Russell

Andre Russell has retired from the Indian Premier League. He was associated with Kolkata Knight Riders team since 2014. In his entire IPL career, he took 2651 runs and 123 wickets. Russell played for Delhi Daredevils and KKR in his IPL career.

3. Faf du Plessis

Faf du Plessis was the first player to withdraw his name from the IPL 2026 mini auction. He told in a social media post that he will not be a part of the IPL 2026 auction, instead he has decided to play in PSL 2026. Du Plessis played for Delhi Daredevils last season.

5. Ben Stokes

England team captain Ben Stokes will not be able to be a part of the auction due to a strict rule of BCCI. Actually, before the mega auction last year, BCCI had made a rule that if any player does not become a part of the mega auction, then he will be banned from the next 2 auctions. This is the reason why Stokes will not be able to be a part of the auction even if he wants to.

Steve Smith also registered for the auction

Former Australian captain and legendary batsman Steve Smith has also registered for the auction. Let us tell you that Smith was also a part of the mega auction of IPL 2025 last year, but he was not bought by any team in the auction. He remained unsold. It is being said that this time some team can buy him, because Smith is in strong form.

The IPL 2026 auction is going to be smoke-filled this time. From Andre Russell to Glenn Maxwell, legends who have hit big sixes can come in the auction this time. A total of 77 slots will be vacant in the auction, teams are left with a total of Rs 237.55 crore. Obviously, a lot of money is going to be showered on the players in the auction. In the mega auction, bids of more than Rs 20 crore were made on 3 players including Rishabh Pant. This time also some such players may come in the auction, regarding whom a bidding war may start.

1. Andre Russell

Andre Russell has taken 2651 runs and 123 wickets in his historic career. Russell, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders for 12 seasons, has been released this time by the KKR franchise. Russell is a good fielder, he gives wickets to the team from time to time and the whole world is aware of his ability to hit big hits. The arrival of a veteran like Russell in the auction means a bidding war seems almost certain.

2. Cameron Green

There is speculation about Australian all-rounder Cameron Green that this time there may be a competition among the teams to buy him. Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra predicted that this time there may be a lot of demand for Green in the auction. Green is also in good form, coming off a century against South Africa and his strike rate in T20 Internationals is more than 160. Can bowl at one wicket, can come in the middle order or lower middle order and can also play the role of finisher. Because of this specialty, very high bids can be made on Green. With the release of Andre Russell, Venkatesh Iyer and Moeen Ali, KKR is in dire need of an all-rounder and has more than Rs 64 crore left.

3. David Miller

The auction sometimes progresses in an unexpected manner. If we talk about the last time, the bid on Venkatesh Iyer had gone up to Rs 23.75 crore in no time. It is also possible to place a very high bid on a young fast bowler like Mathisha Pathirana. But Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have the most money left, the addition of a finisher like David Miller to their squad will strengthen their squad. Especially KKR now has no finisher left. Therefore, Kolkata team can turn to Miller and CSK’s participation in the bidding war will not be surprising.
