IPL Auction 2024: Highest base price players who have not been shortlisted for mini-auction

The shortlist for the IPL 2024 auction was announced on December 11, 2023, by the BCCI. It sees 333 players going under the hammer in the auction, which takes place on December 19, 2023, in Dubai. 

From an initial auction pool of 1166 players, 333 players have been shortlisted. Of these, 119 are overseas players, including two from Associate nations - Netherlands' fast bowler Paul van Meekeren and Namibia all-rounder David Wiese.

The auction will begin with capped players, starting with batters, followed by all-rounders, wicketkeepers, fast bowlers, and spinners in the listed order. The same sequence will be followed for the uncapped players.

However, several players had some big names, who were not shortlisted for the mini-auction for the IPL 2024. In this piece, let’s have a look at those overseas players who didn’t make it into the final list of 119 foreign players to go under the hammer. 

Overseas players who didn't get shortlisted for the IPL 2024 auction:

1. Angelo Mathews

Sri Lankan superstar Angelo Mathews has been part of the IPL for several seasons. He played for Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Pune Warriors in the Indian Premier League. However, poor performance and injuries have meant that his appearances in the IPL have not benefitted the teams he has played for. At 37, Mathews has seen better days and it seems franchises have also moved on from him.
