The IPL 2024 auction is scheduled to take place on December 19 in Dubai. A total of 333 players are shortlisted to feature in the auction for the 77 slots available. There are 21 Australians who will feature at the auction. It will include a number of current players who are part of the team.
Here we will talk about three Australian players who are in big demand and can set the auction on fire. The likes of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, and Marcus Stoinis are already retained by their respective franchises. But there are a few who might fetch a big deal.
3. Pat Cummins
Australian skipper Pat Cummins skipped the 2023 season and was released by the Kolkata Knight Riders. He will be back at the auction. He is part of the second set with a base price of INR 2 crore. With his all-round ability, he can be a big buy at the IPL 2024 auction. There will be a number of teams who might bid for him.
2. Mitchell Starc
Veteran pacer Mitchell Starc has also been back at the IPL since 2015. The left-arm pacer will be a hot prospect at the auction, and a number of teams will keep an eye on him. Starc is a brilliant new ball bowler and can also bowl some brilliant overs at the death. It will not be a surprise that Starc will end up crossing 10 crore.
3. Travis Head
The World Cup hero Travis Head will also be at the auction, available at a price of INR 2 crore. Head is an attacking opener who can single-handedly thrash any opposition. Adding to that, he can also bowl some useful spins, which makes him a valuable player to have. Head is one of the most impactful players and is expected to go big at the auction.
