IPL 2026 Auction: Full List of Registered Players Revealed
The official list of players registered for the IPL 2026 Auction is out, and Australian all-rounder Cameron Green stands out as the most prominent name among the 1,355 players who have thrown their hat in the ring. The mini-auction is scheduled to take place on December 16 in Abu Dhabi, where teams will battle for a limited number of spots. So let’s have a look at Registered Players for IPL 2026 Auction.
A Massive Player Pool – 1,355 Cricketers Registered
A total of 1,355 players have signed up for the upcoming IPL season’s auction. However, franchises will be presented with the final shortlist later, after verification and trimming.
Each IPL side can maintain a 25-member squad, meaning only 77 slots remain open across all 10 franchises. A maximum of 31 new players can be signed at the event.
Cameron Green Headlines Overseas Stars
Cameron Green, who did not feature in the 2025 mega-auction due to injury, is expected to ignite a bidding war. With teams like Kolkata Knight Riders (₹64.3 Cr purse) and Chennai Super Kings (₹43.4 Cr purse) carrying the biggest budgets, Green is set to attract strong interest.
Alongside Green, several global stars are also part of the auction pool:
Top Overseas Players Available
-
Matheesha Pathirana (SL – released by CSK)
-
Liam Livingstone (ENG – known for power hitting)
-
Devon Conway (NZ)
-
Josh Inglis (AUS)
-
Daryl Mitchell (NZ)
-

Only Two Indians in the ₹2 Crore Base Price Bracket
While the list is dominated by overseas names, only two Indian players appear in the ₹2 crore reserve category:
-
Ravi Bishnoi
-
Venkatesh Iyer
Iyer was bought by KKR for ₹23.75 Cr in 2025 using the RTM card, whereas Bishnoi, released by Lucknow Super Giants, is also expected to draw big bids.
Glenn Maxwell Missing From the List
One of the most surprising omissions from the registration list is Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. The batter, who represented Punjab Kings last season, hasn’t confirmed his reason for skipping the auction.
Base Price Category: Players in ₹2 Crore Bracket
Some key names registered at the highest base price tier include:
Ravi Bishnoi, Venkatesh Iyer, Cameron Green, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Liam Livingstone, Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Naveen-ul-Haq, Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Tom Banton, Adam Milne, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Rilee Rossouw, Wanindu Hasaranga, Mustafizur Rahman, Jason Holder, Shai Hope and many more.
IPL 2026 Auction: What to Expect
With high-profile overseas stars and a few big Indian names entering the pool, the IPL 2026 Auction promises intense bidding battles. Teams with heavier purses like KKR and CSK are expected to dictate early competition.
As franchises weigh availability, form, and team combinations, fans can expect stunning price wars, surprise signings, and fresh talent emerging.
