The IPL 2026 auction, scheduled December 16 at Etihad Arena, Abu Dhabi, will feature 350 players after BCCI pruned the initial 1355 registrations. Thirty-five new names were added, notably South Africa's Quinton de Kock, who recently ended international retirement and smashed a century against India. De Kock halved his base price to Rs 1 crore after Kolkata Knight Riders released him following an underwhelming season where he was bought for Rs 2 crore. Cameron Green registered as a batter instead of all-rounder. The auction commences at 2:30 PM IST with capped players by specialism like batters, all-rounders, wicketkeeper-batters, fast bowlers, spin bowlers followed by uncapped players. (PC: Google Play)
