There will be many big names going under the hammer when the IPL 2024 auction takes place on December 19, in Dubai. Each team will have a budget of Rs 100 crore, up from Rs 95 crore the previous year. This is the final year of each player's three-year contract, and a mega-auction is planned for next year.<o:p></o:p>

There have been 1166 registrations for the auction, which will be the final mini-auction before next year's giant auction. There are 77 places available, with 30 of them reserved for international players. The ten teams can spend a total of Rs 262.95 crore. <o:p></o:p>

There are multiple international cricket experienced players who have put their names in the auction list. But it remains to be seen which of the players get picked owing to only 77 vacancies. With this in mind, here is a look at five capped players who might not get a buyer in the IPL 2024 auction.<o:p></o:p>

Here are the Top 5 capped players who might go unsold in the IPL 2024 auction:<o:p></o:p>

5.David Willey<o:p></o:p>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/david-willey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Willey</a> recently retired from international cricket after the ICC World Cup 2023. The 33-year-old acknowledged that with ECB excluding him from the list of central contracts, means that he has limited time to explore other opportunities and make some money. Willey has been a part of IPL on several occasions, most recently with RCB in IPL 2023.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

However, he has just played just 11 matches across three IPL seasons with 6 wickets to his name. Due to his England commitments, Willey was not considered a pick in previous auctions. But this time as well, the England pacer might see himself going unsold due to his form and lack of performances in recent times. There is not much trust in David Willey’s abilities from IPL franchises despite him ending with 11 wickets in the recent ICC World Cup at an economy of 5.07.<o:p></o:p>

4. Siddharth Kaul<o:p></o:p>

A veteran of Indian domestic cricket, Siddharth Kaul has been part of&nbsp;IPL since 2013. He has 58 wickets in 55 matches, with 37 of them coming in only two IPL seasons in 2017 and 2018. While Kaul is a big-hearted player, his speed has gone down drastically in recent years.

This has led to franchises picking him as a backup player, instead of a first-choice option. However, IPL 2024 might see the teams moving on from the Punjab pacer with many younger and faster bowlers to choose from.<o:p></o:p>

3. Dawid Malan<o:p></o:p>

Dawid Malan has kept himself in the top tier base price of&nbsp;IPL 2024. Once the no.1 ranked T20I batter, Malan’s effect in the format has waned a bit. He has 8667 runs in 316 T20s with 5 centuries and a strike rate of 129.74. However, the IPL has been a kind of untouched ground for the England opener. He has played only one match in the tournament in IPL 2021 for Punjab Kings. <o:p></o:p>

While Malan’s future in the England side is uncertain after the ODI World Cup 2023, the 36-year-old may not get picked in the IPL 2024 auction as well. This is due to his lack of experience playing in India, struggles against quality spin, and that he is over 36 years of age. There are many talented and younger openers vying for a slot in franchises and Malan might not out-compete them in the auction.<o:p></o:p>

2. Harshal Patel<o:p></o:p>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/harshal-patel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harshal Patel</a> was once one of the favourites of IPL franchises and RCB even splurged more than INR 10 crores on him in auction and then retained him as well. His best performance was 32 wickets, a record-equaling achievement for most wickets in a single IPL edition, in IPL 2021. And then in the next two seasons, Harshal could only pick 34 wickets more, but his economy was almost 9 or more than that both times.<o:p></o:p>

Harshal Patel’s death overs bowling was sorted out by opposition teams and he was no longer trusted with that role as well. RCB decided to release him to boost their purse in the auction and though there is a chance, they will buy him back for a cheaper price. There is also a chance that Harshal Patel might fail to get a buyer altogether, given that he has lost his place in the Indian team. <o:p></o:p>

1. Manish Pandey<o:p></o:p>

The first Indian batter to score a century in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a>, Manish Pandey was once the next big thing in Indian cricket. His exploits in domestic cricket and initial IPL seasons got him his India debut as well. But inconsistency proved to be his kryptonite. An excellent fielder and charismatic batter, Pandey has only played 68 matches for India for over 1270 runs with one ODI century and 5 total fifties.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

In IPL, he has been a main draw with 3808 runs in 170 matches with one ton and 22 fifties. But the glaring part of his record is his strike rate of 120.97. In recent IPL seasons, Pandey’s strike rate became an issue. For DC in IPL 2023, he averaged 17.78 in 10 matches at a dismal strike rate of 109.59. <o:p></o:p>His recent domestic outings have also been dismal and there is a high chance, that Manish Pandey, who once used to rule IPL batting charts, might fail to find a buyer this time around in the IPL 2024 auction.<o:p></o:p>
