IPL 2024: 4 Players who opted out of the mini auction
Some illustrious players have prioritised international cricket over the cash-rich league by not participating in the upcoming auction.
3. Joe Root
England’s former Test captain Joe Root did not register his name for the auction and he will be one of the major absentees in the 2024 IPL edition. The 32-year-old opted out of the competition a day before the retention deadline. After the veteran’s decision, Rajasthan Royals (RR) also decided to release him.
Back in the 2023 IPL auction, Root became a part of RR for INR 1 crore but he didn’t get a lot of opportunities to prove himself in the competition. He played three games but batted only once, amassing only 10 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in a losing cause.
