IPL 2024: 5 Overseas players that might go unsold in auction

The final list of the 2024 Indian Premier League player auction is out and cricket fans are all excited to witness the business event to be held in Dubai on December 19. A total of 333 players have been shortlisted for the auction, of which 214 are Indians and 119 are foreigners. 

Of 119 overseas players, some eminent names are unlikely to get buyers in the auction. Their recent numbers and overall IPL records aren’t impressive which may not convince the franchises to invest money in them. Before the auction in Dubai, let’s have a glance at five players who are the favourites to break into the unsold list of the 2024 auction.

Here are the five overseas players that might go unsold in the auction

5. Ben Cutting

Australia's Ben Cutting is remembered among IPL supporters for his 39-run knock off 15 deliveries for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2016 final. Following that season, the Aussie never looked dominating with his bat in the cash-rich tournament.

In 2017, he donned Hyderabad’s jersey again and could score only 51 runs in four matches. Noting his disappointing show, SRH parted ways with him after the season. In the 2018 auction, Mumbai Indians (MI) signed him up for INR 2.2 crores but he failed to justify the amount, with his disastrous performances in the 2018 and 2019 instalments of the league.

Cutting has registered his name for the 2024 IPL auction and his reserved amount will be INR 50 lakh. However, his recent batting numbers might obstruct his chances of participating in the competition. In the last 12 months, he has played in four leagues but failed to produce anything big for his teams.
