ICL returnees, 26 Pakistan players register for IPL auction

Ninety-seven players, including 26 from Pakistan and several latterly with the ICL, have registered for the third IPL auction, which will be held on January 19. The list also includes four players from Associate countries - Rizwan Cheema and Khurram Chohan (Canada), Ryan ten Doeschate (Netherlands), Niall O'Brien (Ireland) - as well as former Zimbabwe nationals Murray Goodwin and Ray Price.

Prominent among the players who were part of the unofficial ICL are Shane Bond, who recently retired from Test cricket, Damien Martyn, Chris Cairns, Saqlain Mushtaq and Justin Kemp.

The Pakistanis - the current world Twenty20 champions - include Mohammed Aamer and Umar Akmal, and the list also includes the exciting West Indian Kieron Pollard.

Merely registering, however, does not guarantee the player will be included in the auction list. The IPL will send the list of 97 names to the franchises who will then select those players they would like included in the auction. The selected players will be informed of their inclusion by January 5.

The number of overseas players a franchise may have on its roster is capped at ten and at present it is unclear how many slots are available. In 2009, over 100 players registered for the auction out of which 50 went under the hammer to fill 17 available overseas slots. The IPL said it expected the number of places to be substantially lower this time.

good to see him in there hope he gets picked up but to be honest i wouldent get my hopes up, it will be intresting to see if Elton Chigumbura, Brendan Taylor or even Hamilton Madakadza appear on the list

I think ipl teams need allrounder like chigumbara.

I was thinking of posting this thread but Zimfan1's in-swinger is too fast.
Notable omissions for me are Covy and Chiggs. However this list is only of registered players and the final auction list will be availale only on 5th jan so even Price and Goodwin are no certainty

[CrimsonAvenger]

Yes, Chiggs, Chappie and Mazza must have been there.

But from where will Murray Goodwin bring an NOC, if ever needed?

Andy Flower, wherelse

Pricey misses out in the pruned list of 51, Murray Goodwin is the lone Zimbabwe name: http://www.iplt20.com/common/2010/jan/0 ... c-news.htm

It would be interesting to see what happens if some team decides to get his services.

[jamthala]

Goodwin is good batsman.rajsthan royal and deccan charger have intrest in him.

It's sad that Murray Goodwin retired when he did. He truly did have the classic, solid techinique for a number three to survive in international cricket. I think he had an average over 40 when he called it a day. I was actually at the game in england where he palyed his last match and he scored a century. He truly did time the ball superbly, especially against the pace of Darren Gough. Hopefully some of our young talents can follow in his footsteps.
