<p>On the 1st of January, Cricket Australia announced their official 15-member squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Mitchell Marsh, the veteran all-rounder, has been named the captain of the side. </p>
<p>Considering that the matches will be played in the subcontinent on tracks similar to those of India and Sri Lanka, the Australian selectors have opted for a wide variety of spinners in their side. Moreover, the Aussies have been placed in the same group as hosts Sri Lanka. </p>
<p>Placed in the same group, Australia would face Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Oman in the ICC T20 World Cup group stage before they advance to the next phase of the tournament. </p>
<p><strong>Australian Squad for ICC T20 World Cup: </strong><em>Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Glenn Maxwell, Cooper Connolly, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Cameron Green, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis, and Adam Zampa.</em></p>
<h2><strong><span>Australia pick 5 spinners for T20 World Cup </span></strong></h2>
<p>The Australian selection committee has always startled all with their choices. This time around, despite Pat Cummins' presence in the squad, Mitchell Marsh has been named as the skipper of the team for the upcoming World Cup.</p>
<p>Considering that the subcontinent tracks will offer help for spinners, Australia has picked two frontline spinners in Adam Zampa and <span>Matthew Kuhnemann. To back these spinners in the middle overs, Cooper Connolly, the young Perth Scorchers all-rounder who is in red-hot form in the BBL, has also been added to the squad. </span></p>
<p><span>Glenn Maxwell and Matt Short can be more than just part-timers in the squad. Overall, Australia has produced a spin-heavy track. </span></p>
<p><span>In a surprising turn of events, Glenn Maxwell has also been claimed to be a wicket-keeping substitute for Australia if Josh Inglis is ruled out due to an injury. </span></p>
<h2><strong><span>Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Tim David: Australia pick all injured players despite uncertainty </span></strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Cummins" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pat Cummins</strong></a>, the Australian skipper, recently made a comeback to red-ball cricket and played the third Ashes Test at Adelaide. However, it is clear that he hasn't recovered completely yet and is keeping cautious, eyeing the upcoming T20 World Cup. </p>
<p>However, considering his recovery routine, George Bailey has shown positivity towards his return ahead of the World Cup. The same works out for injured pacer Josh Hazlewood and Tim David, who recently suffered a blow during a BBL match with the Hobart Hurricanes. </p>
<p><span>"Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Tim David are tracking well, and we are confident they will be available for the World Cup.</span></p>
<p><span>"This is a preliminary squad, so should changes need to be made, they will be made ahead of the support period," concluded Bailey, also claiming that the squad for the Pakistan T20s might not be entirely the same as the World Cup squad. </span></p>

Australia announce shocking T20 World Cup squad

Cricket Australia has finally revealed their 15-member squad that will travel to India & Sri Lanka for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup. Considering conditions in the subcontinent, even the Aussies have gone for a spin-heavy squad.

The new year has begun new proceedings for Cricket Australia as they announce their 15-member squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.

<p>The Board of Control for Cricket in India, that is, the BCCI, will be announcing the central contracts for the season of 2026-27 anytime soon. As per speculations and recent reports from renowned sports journalists, it is evident that this is going to be full of surprises, like most of India's recent affairs in the game. </p>
<p>While some players, who have been considered as the future of the Indian team in the long run, might be promoted and given newer roles with the BCCI, players who have retired from a format or two, or players who have been affected by injury concerns, are likely to face the BCCI's axe. </p>
<h2>Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to lose A+ status in BCCI contracts </h2>
<p>Indian greats <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a> and Rohit Sharma have been great servants to Indian cricket for over a decade now. They have been accorded the due respect by the BCCI over all these years; however, that has not been the case under Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir's era. </p>
<p>After the controversy over the sudden retirement from Test cricket, especially for Virat Kohli, the controversy heightened with the uncertainty over a spot for the two veterans in the ODI team and their chances to play in the ICC World Cup 2027. However, Rohit and Virat turned the tables with their commendable return to international limited-overs cricket. </p>
<p>The recent buzz suggests that the BCCI is looking to make some restructured reforms within the central contracts, and some shocking demotion ideas have also prevailed. </p>
<p>Indian greats Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma might be demoted from a Grade A+ contract and handed a Grade A or B contract by the BCCI. They have coined this as the consequence of featuring in just one format internationally. </p>
<p>Alongside Rohit and Kohli, some reports have also claimed that the likes of two other A+ contract holders, Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah, might also be demoted in stature, despite the fact that Bumrah is a key asset across all three formats. </p>
<h2>New Dawn of Indian cricket: Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma and Arshdeep Singh to receive massive contract promotions </h2>
<p>While some may be demoted, and some, like veteran pacer Mohammed Shami and Mukesh Kumar, might be excluded from the central contracts, some cricketers will be relishing promotions and hikes from the BCCI. </p>
<p>The frontrunner for the category would be Indian Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, who is very likely to be promoted to the A+ category. Alongside him, KL Rahul can also be given the status. </p>
<p>The likes of Shreyas Iyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Axar Patel and Abhishek Sharma can be cited for a promotion into Grade A of central contracts, while players like Jitesh Sharma might be hoping for a maiden contract. </p>
<h2>Current BCCI Contracts held by Indian cricketers:</h2>
<p><strong>Grade A+:</strong><span> Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja.</span></p>
<p><strong>Grade A:</strong><span> </span>Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Hardik Pandya.</p>
<p><strong>Grade B:</strong><span> </span>Suryakumar Yadav, Axar Patel, Shreyas Iyer, Kuldeep Yadav, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.</p>
<p><strong>Grade C:<span> </span></strong>Rinku Singh, Tilak Varma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Rajat Patidar, Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, Mukesh Kumar, Sanju Samson, Arshdeep Singh, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Varun Chakravarthy, and Harshit Rana.</p>

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to lose BCCI Grade A+ Contract in 2026

With the BCCI contracts set to be renewed for the upcoming season, reports have claimed that Indian greats Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma might no longer be handed A+ category status under the BCCI central contracts. The two legends might be demoted to some other category below A+.

According to recent speculation reports, Indian greats Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli might be on the verge of being demoted in the upcoming renewal of central contracts by the BCCI.

<p>Pakistan has rebuilt their squad to the core after their humiliating loss in the last edition of the ICC T20 World Cup, where it crashed out of the first group stage without even qualifying for the Super 8 stage. </p>
<p>Consequently, Pakistan's new head coach, Mike Hesson and the board of selectors made some audacious calls, as the likes of Mohammad Rizwan and veteran Babar Azam were dropped from the squad for the shortest format of the game. </p>
<p>The Asia Cup was one of the tournaments that Pakistan played without the two veteran batters, and despite that, they managed to reach the finals of the competition. Under skipper Salman Agha's leadership, they have won the recent T20I series against South Africa and the tri-series against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. </p>
<h2>Pakistan announce final T20I squad ahead of World Cup; No place for Babar Azam</h2>
<p>Keeping their faith in Captain Salman Ali Agha's leadership, Pakistan has announced him as their captain for the T20I series against Sri Lanka, and he is likely to retain the role for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup as well. </p>
<p>Alongside the experience of Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz, Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan, the team also comprises several younger talents like Usman Khan, Usman Tariq and Abdul Samad. With a blend of fine talents and experienced heads, the team looks solid despite their veterans missing out. </p>
<p><strong>Pakistan Squad:</strong> Salman Ali Agha (c), Abdul Samad, Abrar Ahmed, Fakhar Zaman, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Salman Mirza, Khawaja Mohammad Nafay (wk), Naseem Shah, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Sahibzada Farhan (wk), Saim Ayub, Usman Khan (wk), Usman Tariq (wk) and Shadab Khan. </p>
<p><span>https://x.com/CallMeSheri1_/status/2005124523188949004?s=20</span></p>
<h2>Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi snubbed due to BBL duties?</h2>
<p>Pakistan veteran batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babar_Azam" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Babar Azam</strong></a> has not been included in the squad travelling to Sri Lanka. Pakistan will play all their matches in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka, and hence, they are touring the island to get a feel of the conditions. </p>
<p>The reason cited for the snub is in Babar Azam's current obligations and his best-suited role for the Sydney Sixers in the BBL. The batter has played 4 games for the Sixers and could manage just 71 runs in the series. </p>
<p>Alongside the veteran batter, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have also been released from the squad, owing to their commitments with their respective BBL teams. </p>
<p><span>https://x.com/dhillow_/status/2005129561600917937?s=20</span></p>
<h2>Shadab Khan to leave Brisbane Heat midway through the BBL for national duty </h2>
<p>However, Shadab Khan, the most successful Pakistani player in this edition of the BBL so far, will leave the BBL midway with the Brisbane Heat to return for his national side against Sri Lanka. </p>
<p>Shadab Khan has played some fancy roles with the bat down the order for the Heat, while he is also one of their highest wicket-getters with the ball. He returned with the best figures of 4/24 recently, before the squad was announced. </p>

Pakistan reveal T20I squad for Sri Lanka tour without Babar Azam - Here's why

Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have been snubbed from the Pakistan squad travelling to Sri Lanka for the preparatory T20I series ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. However, Salman Ali Agha and the Pakistan management have reasoned that the BBL is a hindrance to their selection, and have not provided any update on their T20 World Cup participation.

Pakistan has announced their squad for the upcoming T20I series against Sri Lanka. The squad does not include their premier stars, Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi, which has thrown their T20 World Cup participation into uncertainty.

pakistan-reveal-t20i-squad-for-sri-lanka-tour-without-babar-azam-here-s-why

<p>The Indian team management was quick to announce the T20I squad for the ICC T20 World Cup as well as the 5-match series against New Zealand to prepare for the ICC event. However, the same BCCI board of selectors, headed by Ajit Agarkar, has been delaying the announcement of the ODI squad. </p>
<p>The three-match series begins on the 11th of January, and the three matches are highly anticipated since the Indian greats Rohit Sharma and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a> will play their last 3 games before marking a long absence from the game, with no more ODI series scheduled for India till the tour of England in the June–July window. </p>
<h2>Rishabh Pant to be dropped from India's ODI lineup </h2>
<p>India has almost finalized their plans for the T20 World Cup; hence, Gautam Gambhir's experimentations would now move to the longer limited-overs format. With his latest strategies, wicket-keeper and Delhi batsman Rishabh Pant is likely to be dropped from the squad for the home series against New Zealand, as suggested by reports from India Today. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://img.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202512/untitled-design-5_450x280_04c36d.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="398"></p>
<p>Pant, who was picked as a constant backup for KL Rahul, last played for India in an ODI back in August 2024 against Sri Lanka. The last time he was part of India's ODI squad was in the three-match series against South Africa. </p>
<p>Rishabh Pant recently played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for the Delhi side and returned with inconsistent scores of 5 and 70 in the two innings. Hence, his drop might also be due to Indian selectors currently favouring momentum and selection calls. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, Shubman Gill is likely to be back as India's ODI captain after missing out on the South Africa series, where KL Rahul captained in his place. Considerably, Shreyas Iyer has also resumed training at the Centre of Excellence, but is far from receiving a clearance to play. </p>
<h2>Ishan Kishan suggested as Pant's replacement on the ODI squad—Revealed reports </h2>
<p>In Rishabh Pant's absence, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishan_Kishan" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Ishan Kishan</strong></a>, the Jharkhand wicket-keeper, has been positioned as a frontrunner in the ODI squad. The left-handed batter has reportedly been considered after his splendid run in the domestic circuit. </p>
<p>Kishan's last appearance came during the ICC ODI World Cup match against Afghanistan on the 11th of October 2023. Kishan finished as the highest run-getter in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and then scored a blistering hundred with a strike rate of over 300 in the first match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy season. </p>
<p>Kishan scored the 33-ball century against Karnataka, which marked the second-fastest List A century by an Indian cricketer and the fourth overall in List A history. Kishan also has a double century in one-day international matches to his name. </p>

Rishabh Pant's ODI career over, Ishan Kishan era begins (PC: X)

India has finally started shuffling their ODI XI, and the next man to be shown the exit door is wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant. Pant has not played a single ODI game since the Champions Trophy 2025, where he was picked as a backup for KL Rahul. Gautam Gambhir and co. are looking at Ishan Kishan, who can come in handy over multiple roles.

Indian wicket-keeper batter and the Test vice-captain Rishabh Pant, is most likely to be dropped from the ODI team ahead of the New Zealand series. Jharkhand's skipper's blistering domestic record has fast-tracked his long-awaited return.

<p>Indian captain <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubman_Gill" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shubman Gill</strong></a> boosted his campaign, as he is all set to make a return to action for Punjab in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His comeback has come at a very crucial juncture for the Punjab team as they are on the quest to seal a spot in the knockout stages of the premier one-day domestic tournament. </p>
<p>Shubman Gill has reported his availability for Punjab in the upcoming games in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His availability has been confirmed for two matches on January 3rd and 6th. The two matches will be played against Sikkim and Goa, respectively. </p>
<p>The Indian veteran was named the skipper of the Indian Test and ODI team in 2025, and for this purpose, he will be joining the Punjab squad during their stay in Jaipur. Punjab began the campaign in a commanding fashion, winning its first two games. </p>
<p><span>“He will join the team in Jaipur around January 1 for those two games,” said the PCA official through Sportstar. </span></p>
<h2><span>Shubman Gill's national duty conflicts with his domestic schedule </span></h2>
<p><span>On his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Punjab, Gill will have to manage his national schedule, since the ODI series against New Zealand will also be around the corner. The tour begins on January 11th, and the Indian team is scheduled to host a short preparation camp. </span></p>
<p><span>Shubman Gill has also shown a willingness to be part of the Punjab team for the match against Mumbai. However, his availability depends on the preparatory camp and its supposed schedule. </span></p>
<p><span>"While he is interested in playing the final group league fixture against Mumbai as well, it will all depend on the BCCI’s scheduling for the camps ahead of the home series against New Zealand," confirmed the PCA source of Sportstar. </span></p>
<h2><span>Shubman Gill's domestic comeback after T20 World Cup snub </span></h2>
<p><span>Gill was sidelined from cricket with injuries and then made a return in the T20I series. However, Gill failed to put on a promising performance in the series, as he could manage to go past the double-digits just once in the series. </span></p>
<p><span>Gill's decision to return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy came after the BCCI had made it mandatory for all nationally contracted players. He has been snubbed from the Indian T20I team and hence would now be part of the domestic competition alongside renowned Indian players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan and Rinku Singh.  </span></p>

Shubman Gill announces Vijay Hazare Trophy availability ahead of New Zealand ODI tour

Indian captain Shubman Gill could not feature for India in the ODIs against South Africa due to his recovery from injury. The Indian captain, who replaced Rohit Sharma as the One-day captain of India, will be back against New Zealand in the One-day format.

Indian ODI captain Shubman Gill has announced his availability for Punjab in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He will bolster his form in the VHT before returning to the Indian squad for the ODI series against New Zealand.

<p>Indian batter Ishan Kishan continued his domination in domestic cricket for Jharkhand after he was recalled for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 and the five-match T20I series against New Zealand by the Indian selectors. Kishan got this massive opportunity after having led his team, Jharkhand, to a title triumph in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. </p>
<p>Ishan Kishan already came off a successful season in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025. With 500+ runs and two centuries under his belt, he continued his peak form into the Vijay Hazare Trophy. With a total of five centuries, he now has the joint highest number of hundreds in the T20 tournament alongside Abhishek Sharma. </p>
<h2>Ishan Kishan sets high standards with the second-fastest List A hundred </h2>
<p>Ishan Kishan was playing his first game after his selection into the Indian National Cricket Team's squad in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Kishan is currently leading his state team, Jharkhand. </p>
<p>After some dominant performances as an opener in the T20 tournament, Kishan has shown his versatility by moving him down the order to no. 6. Kishan annihilated the Karnataka bowling attack during their clash. The left-handed batter smashed a 33-ball century to stake his claim. </p>
<p>Kishan came in to bat following a stunning partnership between Virat Singh and Kumar Kushagra. Kishan's century came off just 33 balls, and he finished on 125 runs off just 39 balls, with 14 sixes during the innings and a demolishing strike rate of 320.51. </p>

<h2>Devdutt Padikkal's century ruins Jharkhand's VHT opener </h2>
<p>After a massive target of 413 runs was set by the Jharkhand side in the opening game of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Karnataka was never thought to have pulled in one of the most iconic chases in the history of Indian cricket. </p>
<p>The Mayank Agarwal-led side chased down the 413-run target with 15 balls and 5 wickets remaining.

The record innings came while chasing, which handed Karnataka a platform early in the chase. </p>
<p>Later, Abhinav Manohar and Dhruv Prabhakar finished the innings with 56<em> and</em> 40 runs, respectively, at the end. Padikkal was also named the player of the match in the game, ruining the efforts from Ishan Kishan and the rest of the Jharkhand batters.  </p>

Ishan Kishan sends strong message to Ajit Agarkar for an ODI return after T20I comeback

Ishan Kishan led Jharkhand to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title recently and was selected for the Indian National team for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The wicket-keeper batter has also launched his Vijay Hazare Trophy campaign on the same note.

Jharkhand captain Ishan Kishan continued his peak form ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 with another breathtaking knock. Devdutt Padikkal's magnificent innings, however, denied Kishan a well-deserved victory.

<p>After his India teammate and veteran cricketer Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli also reached his century on his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy, India's premier domestic ODI tournament. Kohli made his comeback to domestic List A cricket for Delhi and followed with a third century in his last four One-dayers. </p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Virat Kohli </strong></a>led the proceedings for India since his return to India with the series against South Africa. Kohli peaked during the series, as he started with a century in the very first game. After the first hundred, he followed it with another in the second match. The third game marked Kohli's unbeaten half-century, and he carried the peak form into the domestic tournament. </p>
<p>Kohli agreed to feature in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for about 3-4 games, after the BCCI instructed the two veterans to feature in the tournament to keep up with their form until the ICC ODI World Cup 2027. The two veterans have shown impressive form since their return to cricket following the six-month break. </p>
<h2>Virat Kohli's latest milestone with 16000 runs in his List A career </h2>
<p>Virat Kohli reached a new landmark in his international cricket career, as he became the second Indian cricketer to have breached the 16000-run mark in List A cricket. The milestone was achieved during the latest match between Andhra Pradesh and Kohli's home state team, Delhi. </p>
<p>The chasemaster played a masterclass innings as he helped Delhi chase a 299-run target. Kohli was the only centurion in the Delhi innings, as he finished on 131 runs off 101 balls. Priyansh Arya and Nitish Rana backed Kohli on his legendary feat with valuable 70s. </p>
<p>With 16000+ runs, Virat Kohli now averages an extraordinary 57, along with 57 centuries and 84 half-centuries as well. His List A feat of 16000 runs came in 330 innings, which is 61 fewer than Sachin Tendulkar. Over the past year, Kohli, the legendary batter, has amassed 651 runs in 13 international innings and has an average of 65.10, with three centuries and four fifties.  </p>

VIrat Kohli follows Sachin Tendulkar to join the elite List A list with 16000 runs

Playing for Delhi in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26, Virat Kohli, the legendary player, returned to the Delhi side following a 15-year-long break from domestic List-A cricket. Making a commanding comeback with a century, Kohli entered the 16000-run club on a list of elite cricketers.

Virat Kohli reached a landmark in his career with his third List A century in 4 games and joined former Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar in the elite list of run-scorers in List A cricket.

<p>Overseas players have really not lured the teams this time around in the mini-auction. Except for some of the most obvious names, Cameron Green and Matheesha Pathirana were the only names that got the much-anticipated reception. </p>
<p>Some of the finest players like Jake Fraser-McGurk, Jonny Bairstow, Jamie Smith, Lungi Ngidi and several other key players have gone unsold. Kolkata Knight Riders looked like a very loaded side, and most of the expensive and fruitful overseas bids went to them. </p>
<h2>Here are the 5 Most Expensive Overseas Players of the IPL 2026 mini-auction:</h2>
<h3>5. Josh Inglis - INR 8.40 crores - Lucknow Super Giants</h3>
<p>The Australian wicket-keeper batter Josh Inglis is often considered one of the busiest players in the shortest format of the game. Inglis was released by the Punjab Kings after he informed the management of his limited availability for the upcoming season. </p>
<p>Despite his limitations, Tom Moody, the LSG mentor, did not hesitate to bid on the Australian. Inglis was also on the books for the Sunrisers Hyderabad; however, LSG grabbed them with a fairly larger purse during the time of the bid.  </p>
<h3>4. Mustafizur Rahman - INR 9.20 crores - Kolkata Knight Riders</h3>
<p>Another shocking bid, which almost took the entire room by shock, would have surely been the Bangladesh seamer. Though Mustafizur Rahman's abilities can never be put under scrutiny, as he is one of the finest death bowling options due to his variations and misery at giving away runs. </p>
<p>The Bangladesh bowler was a tough fight between the Chennai Super Kings and the Kolkata Knight Riders before the Knights had him as their third-highest of the night. Mustafizur, for a whopping INR 9.20 crore, went to the Knight Riders. The only concern with him would be that KKR would find it very difficult to make way for him in the 4 reserved spots for overseas cricketers. </p>
<h3>3. Liam Livingstone - INR 13 crores - Sunrisers Hyderabad </h3>
<p>The English all-rounder was expected to be one of the fanciest auction bids in the mini-auction; however, when the entire house ignored him, and he went unsold during the first round, it took the cricket fraternity by shock. He was also not named for the first Accelerated auction. </p>
<p>Livingstone was then picked by the Sunrisers Hyderabad during the second accelerated auction. Lucknow Super Giants floated his price upto the extent their purse permitted, and hence he went for a whopping INR 13 crores to the Sunrisers. </p>
<h3>2. Matheesha Pathirana - INR 18 crores - Kolkata Knight Riders</h3>
<p>One of the most highly regarded players coming into this auction, the Sri Lankan pacer has been an eminent part of CSK's death bowling over the last two seasons. Pathirana is quick and is often a threat in the death overs. </p>
<p>The Kolkata Knight Riders looked determined to strengthen their pace attack this time, and to them, the likes of Pathirana could finally be the replacement for Mitchell Starc. However, Pathirana has never been spotted bowling with the new ball. KKR had him for INR 18 crores. </p>
<h3>1. Cameron Green - INR 25.20 crores - Kolkata Knight Riders</h3>
<p>The name needs no introduction after today, as he became the costliest player of overseas origin in the history of the IPL. Green was sold to the Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 25.20 crores, which took him past Mitchell Starc to be the highest-paid player for the Knight Riders as well. </p>
<h2>Other Overseas Players Sold</h2>
<p>Several other overseas players also seemed significant, as they drew some greater amounts but mostly during the accelerated rounds. Jason Holder was sold for INR 7 crores, while Ben Dwarshius, Pathum Nissanka and Cooper Conolly followed with INR 4.40, 4 and 3 crores, respectively.</p>
<p>Jack Edwards, the big-hitting Australian all-rounder, got his maiden IPL contract in the form of a 3 crore deal from the Sunrisers Hyderabad. </p>
<p>Several players were sold for their base price of INR 2 crores, which included some big names like David Miller, Ben Duckett and Rachin Ravindra. Wanindu Hasaranga, Finn Allen and Anrich Nortje were among others chipping in cheaply for the franchises. </p>

Top 5 Most Expensive Overseas Players of IPL 2026 mini-auction ft. Mustafizur Rahman

The IPL 2026 mini-auction did not mark an equally dominant season for the overseas cricketer like the previous seasons of the IPL. This time, franchises looked to invest more in young Indian uncapped players. Yet here are some of the biggest bids among overseas players from the auction.

Cameron Green might have stolen the show in the IPL 2026 mini-auction with his whopping price, but several other shocking players have also drawn a massive amount of money from the teams, and one among them was surely the Bangladesh seamer Mustafizur Rahman.

<p>With INR 14.20 crores, Prasanth Veer and Kartik Sharma are now the highest-paid Uncapped cricketers in IPL history. The IPL mini-auction has marked the latest strategy for this edition of the IPL, as they, despite having a massive purse, waited eagerly and grabbed Indian uncapped players. </p>
<p>The strategies seemed to go over the heads, as Chennai Super Kings, despite their massive purse, did not bid desperately for Cameron Green, Liam Livingstone or even Ravi Bishnoi, despite their need for a spinner. </p>
<p>Until the round for Uncapped players, Chennai Super Kings had a massive purse, but just within moments, Stephen Fleming had his plans revealed. They went berserk as CSK picked two uncapped players for a whopping INR 28.4 crores combined. </p>
<h2>Prasanth Veer and Kartik Sharma became the joint-highest, most expensive uncapped players in IPL auction history</h2>
<p>Chennai Super Kings have completely transformed from being the team that favoured the senior pros to the ones who favour toddlers. Keeping mum during the initial rounds, all hell broke loose when the uncapped players entered the auction. </p>
<p>This time, it was all about the young uncapped players, as Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals and the Chennai Super Kings emptied their purses to add these players to their squads. </p>
<h3>List of the most Expensive uncapped players in IPL history: </h3>
<p><strong>1) Prashant Veer: Chennai Super Kings - Rs 14.2 crore - 2025</strong></p>
<p><strong>1) Kartik Sharma: Chennai Super Kings - Rs 14.2 crore - 2025</strong></p>
<p>2) Avesh Khan: Lucknow Super Giants - Rs 10 crore - 2022</p>
<p>3) Krishnappa Gowtham: Chennai Super Kings - Rs 9.25 crore - 2021</p>
<p>4) Shahrukh Khan: Punjab Kings - Rs 9 crore - 2022</p>
<p>5) Rahul Tewatia: Gujarat Titans - Rs 9 crore - 2022</p>
<p>6) Krunal Pandya: Mumbai Indians - Rs 8.8 crore - 2018</p>
<p><strong>7) <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/auqib-nabi-1159732" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Auqib Nabi</a>: Delhi Capitals - Rs 8.40 crore - 2025</strong></p>
<p>7) Varun Chakravarthy: Kings XI Punjab - Rs 8.40 crore - 2019</p>
<h2>Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer's domestic record books </h2>
<p>The 20-year-old spinner from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh first came to the limelight as he represented the Noida Super Kings in the UP T20 League. The left-handed batter is known for some fireworks down the order and also has a reputation as an orthodox spinner. </p>
<p>Often a miser with runs during his spells, he is often compared to the modern-day veteran from India, Ravindra Jadeja. CSK scouted him out of some fascinating numbers, as he amassed 112 runs at a strike rate of 170+ and picked 12 scalps with a startling economy of 6.45. </p>
<p>Ahead of the start of the auction, the player wished to be part of the Yellow Army, as he wanted to stay and learn closely from one of the greatest finishers of the game, MS Dhoni, and now his dream has come true. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/kartik-sharma-1459392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kartik Sharma</a>, on the other hand, is now the third wicket-keeper in the CSK side, alongside Sanju Samson and Urvil Patel. Starting off with the Mumbai Indians, the bid was pushed further with LSG and KKR taking his price beyond 5 crores. </p>
<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings took his price to an equally insane range of INR 14.20 crores, much like Veer. The 19-year-old from Rajasthan has 334 runs in 12 T20 matches and has been marked as a rising fierce striker of the white ball. </p>

CSK go berserk for uncapped players, ropes in highest paid uncapped players in IPL history ft. Kartik  Sharma

The Chennai Super Kings invested heavily in the Indian youngsters, as they have picked local players for a massive sum. The young 19- and 20-year-old cricketers are now back into the mix, as even other than CSK, many other franchises looked very interested in having these players. The teams ignored several international cricket games to focus on these gems of domestic cricket.

With INR 14.20 crores, Prasanth Veer and Kartik Sharma are now the highest-paid Uncapped cricketers in IPL history, and both went to the Yellow Army.

<p>The IPL auction often grabs headlines for its record bids and dramatic moments, but the IPL trade window is a section that operates smoothly and without much hype. The trade window typically precedes the mini-auction, allowing franchises to target a player who would be crucial to their side. </p>
<p>In the pre-season of the IPL 2026, 15th November has been set as the date for the announcement of the retention of players. The likes of Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals have emerged as the major teams ready for the trading window. </p>
<p> The IPL trade window starts just 7 days after the end of an IPL season and continues until a week before the IPL auction begins, and for 2025, it has been slotted between the 13th and the 15th of December. The trades can be of three types: Player Swaps without any money, all-cash deals and lastly Trade + Transfer Fee. </p>
<h2>Top 5 Most Expensive Trades in IPL History: </h2>
<h3>Cameron Green [INR 17.5 Crores]</h3>
<p>The big Australian all-rounder who scored a flurry of runs in his debut season for the Mumbai Indians was part of a trade deal with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The trade included a huge INR 17.5 Crores cash deal, as the MI team wanted to trade in their former all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who moved from the Gujarat Titans to the Mumbai Indians. </p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Green" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cameron Green</strong></a> played the next season for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, also giving a strong performance. Moreover, Green has emerged as a major trade option this season as well. </p>
<h3>Hardik Pandya [INR 15 Crores]</h3>
<p>Hardik Pandya, the Mumbai Indians all-rounder and their current skipper, is second on this list after she moved back to the team he started his IPL journey with. Pandya was bought for a massive INR 15 Crores, which also led to the release of Cameron Green. </p>
<h3>Shardul Thakur [INR 10.75 Crores]</h3>
<p>Shardul Thakur, the star cricketer from the CSK, went on to move to the Delhi Capitals. The Capitals, after a season, traded the Indian bowling all-rounder to the Kolkata Knight Riders, where he played a special role in pressure situations. The deal remains the third highest trade with a whopping sum of INR 10.75 Crores. </p>
<h3>Avesh Khan [INR 10 Crores]</h3>
<p>The Lucknow Super Giants' pace bowling sensation moved from the LSG to the Rajasthan Royals during the second season after LSG's debut in the IPL. The trade deal was marked at INR 10 Crores. However, later in the 2025 mega-auction, LSG bought back their old and experienced hat. </p>
<h3>Lockie Ferguson [INR 10 Crores]</h3>
<p>When KKR signed Shardul Thakur from the Capitals side, the Knights also traded in the New Zealand veteran pacer Lockie Ferguson. This remains the third costliest trade in the history of the league, with an INR 10 Crores deal between the Gujarat Titans and the Kolkata Knight Riders. </p>
