Jeddah: As many as 13 Bangladeshi cricketers have registered for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction, which is scheduled to take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24 and 25. This event marks a significant opportunity for these players to secure contracts in the prestigious league. According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, a total of 1,574 players have registered for this year's mega auction following the official closure of player registration on November 4. Of these, 1,165 are Indian players, while 409 are from overseas, including the 13 from Bangladesh. The player pool comprises 320 capped players, 1,224 uncapped players, and 30 players from Associate Nations. The IPL authorities have yet to disclose the names of the players in the initial registration list. Not all players will participate in the auction as the final list, which considers the franchises' requirements, will be announced later.
