IPL 2023: Country-wise one big name that went unsold at mini auction

 6. Taskin Ahmed (Bangladesh)

Taskin Ahmed was in amazing touch this year as he picked up eight wickets in five matches of the T20 World Cup 2022, at an economy of 7.27. In the Asia Cup too, the bowler looked good with two scalps in a couple of games, at a low economy of 6.57. The 27-year-old has been impressive in T20Is dismissing 36 batters in 46 matches, at a reasonably decent economy of 7.79.

For the marquee event in Kochi, the Bangladesh bowler also listed his name last month, at a base price of INR 50 lakh. However, when his name was announced at the event, no franchise showed interest in him. At the end of the day, he faced disappointment by going unsold.

In the last edition of the tournament, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) wanted his services in the absence of Mark Wood, who was ruled out of the tournament due to an elbow injury. But the youngster couldn’t participate in the tournament as the Bangladesh Cricket Board refused to issue him NOC due to the then South Africa series.
