Key names that remained unsold in IPL 2021 auctions are Jason Roy, Liam Plunkett, Morne Morkel, Alex Hales, Alex Carey, Adil Rashid, Shaun Marsh, Aaron Finch, Hanuma Vihari, Sheldon Cottrell
Mushfiqur Rahim, Jason Behrendorff, Billy Stanlake, Matthew Wade, Corey Anderson, Darren Bravo, Tim Southee, Fidel Edwards & Carlos Brathwaite. The overall list is long though.
While remaining unsold means end of game for the cricketers who were looking to shine in the Indian Premier League, there have been injury & other reasons that have brought withdrawals from players who are selected, though this number is not many. We expect the fortune to change for those who didn’t find the favor of selectors, and with the IPL scheduled to extend to more teams in upcoming editions, there might be more players coming to the league fold.
