The preparations for the 16th edition of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a> have been in full swing. The IPL 2023 auction is all set to be held on December 23 in Kochi. Ahead of the marquee event, 991 players (714 Indian and 277 overseas) have thrown in their names (along with their respective base prices) to go under the hammer. BCCI will trim down the submitted player list based on input from the franchises.

Many top-drawer cricketers have registered themselves for the marquee event. However, there are certain T20 stars who have kept their base prices too high and therefore, are at risk of going unsold at the forthcoming player auction.

Here are the five players who have kept their base price too high:

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/england-pacer-jamie-overton-ruled-out-of-test-series-against-south-africa-and-the-hundred/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Overton</a> is one of the promising bowling all-rounders in the England domestic circuit. The tall and lanky pacer has featured in 88 first-class games and bagged 221 wickets at an average of 30.72. On the batting front, he has scored 2112 runs at an average of 21.33.

However, the 28-year-old has not been quite impressive in the shortest format. Though Overton has fared well with the bat, smashing 563 runs in 83 games at a strike rate of 173.23, he has been quite mediocre with the ball bagging 67 scalps at an alarming rate of 9.37.

As Overton’s performances in the T20s are not up to the mark, it is quite tough for him to find a bidder at the upcoming player auction and given the Devon-born has kept his base price INR 2 crore, it makes his chances of featuring in IPL even bleaker.

Moreover, Overton has played just one international game so far and so he does not have much experience playing on the bigger stages. Thus, one can witness the England all-rounder going unsold at the upcoming auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tymal-mills-feels-for-jofra-archer-after-suffering-similiar-woes-ahead-of-t20-summer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tymal Mills</a> has been a prominent figure in the T20 circuit. The left-arm pacer is known for his death-bowling prowess and has proven his mettle in T20 leagues around the world. The 30-year-old has featured in 172 matches and bagged 198 scalps at an economy of 8.04. He was roped in by Mumbai Indians to partner Jasprit Bumrah at the fag end of the innings.

However, Mills was far from his best and could not deliver the goods with the ball. The England seamer played five games for MI and took six wickets leaking runs at an economy of 11.18. Following his awful outings, the Mumbai franchise sidelined him from the team. Then the ace pacer suffered an ankle injury which, ruled him out of the rest of the tournament.

Post a mediocre IPL 2022 campaign, Mills has failed to break into England’s playing XI in the majority of the T20Is. The Yorkshire-born got a chance to showcase his bowling might but he conceded 35 runs in three overs.&nbsp;As the form has not been on Mills’ side, one can argue that it was not a smart move from him to keep his base price at INR 2 crore for the IPL 2023 auction.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rajasthan-royals-pick-corbin-bosch-as-nathan-coulter-niles-replacement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nathan Coulter-Nile</a> has been a proven performer in the T20 circuit. The 35-year-old has featured in 146 games in the shortest format and took 170 wickets at an economy of 7.78. The bowling all-rounder also has smashed 669 runs at a strike rate of 132.21.&nbsp;

Rajasthan Royals picked Coulter-Nile at his base price of INR 2 crore at the 2022 mega auction. However, the bowling all-rounder could feature in just a single game as he was sidelined from the rest of the competition due to injury. In the lone match the right-arm seamer played, he leaked runs at an alarming rate of 16.00.

Counter-Nile has been troubled by injuries on many occasions in his IPL career. In the 2014 season, when he played for Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), he suffered a hamstring injury and had to miss a couple of games.&nbsp; Again in the 14th edition, the Australian seamer’s stint for the Mumbai Indians was cut short due to a calf injury.

In the previous auction, it was only Rajasthan Royals who were eager to invest in Counter-Nile, and seeing his constant struggles with injuries, franchises might be hesitant to raise their paddle for the Australian all-rounder this time around. In a situation where his chances of getting a buyer are also in question, the flamboyant cricketer keeping his base price to INR 2 crore might not the best of options.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/reports-angelo-mathews-considering-retirement-from-international-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Angelo Mathews</a> has been a run-bank for Sri Lanka in Tests and ODIs. In the longest format of the game, the former Sri Lankan skipper has aggregated 6953 runs in 100 games at an average of 45.14. When it comes to ODIs, he notched up 5835 runs in 218 matches at an average of 41.67. Besides his batting might, the 35-year-old has been a vital contributor with the ball.

However, the veteran batter has not been able to crack the code in the shortest format. Mathews has featured in 78 T20Is and managed 1148 runs at a mediocre strike rate of 117.74. Also, he has failed to set the Indian Premier League ablaze with his batting exploits and scored 724 runs in 49 games at a strike rate of 125.91.

Mathews, who is in the twilight of his career, has not featured in a T20I game since March 2021 and an IPL match since May 2017. Given the Sri Lankan batter has neither aced the shortest format in his playing days nor featured in high-profile T20 competitions of late it was a surprise to see the Colombo-born set his base price to INR 2 crore for the upcoming auction.

Moreover, Mathews has had a fair share of injury concerns in the past, and to avoid another injury scare, he does not prefer bowling much. So, with the ace batter mainly offering a single skillset it might be difficult for him to make a comeback to the cash-rich league.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/my-smell-and-taste-arent-too-good-still-tom-banton-feels-he-is-still-suffering-from-covid-19/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Banton</a> was the hot property in the 2019-20 season when he was dismantling bowling line-ups for fun with his flamboyant stroke play. Courtesy of his awesome showings in the T20 circuit, the wicketkeeper batter broke into the international circuit, while Kolkata Knight Riders roped him in their arsenal for the 2020 season of the IPL.

However, it has not been smooth sailing for Banton since then as the 24-year-old failed to impress in the lucrative T20 tournament, scoring 18 runs in two games for KKR in the 13th edition. The Kolkata franchise did not retain him for the following season and the ace batter has not featured in the cash-rich league post that.&nbsp;

Banton has not been at his best of late. In The Hundred 2022, he could only score 83 in six games at a strike rate of 103.75. Given the England batter has not been amongst the runs, a base price of INR 2 crore for the youngster appears to be too high.&nbsp;
