The <strong>2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) auction</strong> will take place on December 19 in Dubai and a week before the event, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the truncated list of the players auction. A total of 333 players will go under the hammer, of which 214 are Indians and 119 are overseas.

Eminent players such as Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins, who stayed away from the 2023 IPL edition, have submitted their names to get buyers in the auction and feature in the 2024 season. However, some illustrious players have prioritised international cricket over the cash-rich league by not participating in the upcoming <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tag/ipl-auction/?ref=hm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL 2024 auction</a>.&nbsp;

Here are four players who will skip the 2024 IPL

Bangladesh's white-ball captain <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/shakib-al-hasan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shakib Al Hasan</a></strong> has decided to opt out of the 2024 IPL, to focus on his international career. In the 2023 edition of the tournament, the Bangla stalwart didn’t show up for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), due to personal reasons and international duties.

In the past, the 36-year-old has served KKR and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the league. His best performance came in 2018 when he scalped 14 wickets in 17 matches and helped SRH to reach the final. In Sunrisers’ journey until the final, Shakib supported young spinner Rashid Khan to bolster the team’s spin-bowling unit.

The Bangladesh veteran also played a crucial role in KKR’s second title triumph in 2014. He contributed 227 runs and 11 wickets in Kolkata’s massive success. In the final contest against Punjab Kings (PBKS), he bowled a wicketless but economical spell. On one side, when in-form Sunil Narine was getting hammered, Shakib bowled superb four overs and gave away only 26 runs.&nbsp;

England’s former Test captain <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/joe-root/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Root</a></strong> 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.

Along with Root, England’s star pacer <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/jofra-archer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jofra Archer</a></strong> will also not participate in the 2024 IPL instalment. The speedster looked completely out of rhythm for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 2023 IPL. In Jasprit Bumrah’s absence, his responsibility was to spearhead Mumbai’s pace attack but he failed to be impactful.

Playing five matches, he got only two wickets at an expensive economy of 9.50. After his disastrous bowling performance in the season, MI didn't include him in their retention list. Noting Archer’s struggle with injuries, the England Cricket Board (ECB) has taken control of his workload and informed that the ace pacer has not submitted his name for the much-awaited auction in Dubai.

England’s Test skipper <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ben-stokes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Stokes</a></strong> became the talk of the town after receiving a lucrative contract of INR 16.25 crore from Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2023 auction. However, he failed to justify the hefty amount with his underwhelming batting display. In the entire season, he played only two matches and scored only 15 runs at a poor average of 7.50.

The 32-year-old recently went through a successful knee surgery after the 2023 World Cup. Before the announcement of the retention list in November, he informed the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) about his unavailability in the upcoming season. Following this information, the Yellow Army also released him.&nbsp;
