Monty Panesar misses the IPL bus

Monty Panesar was among the 12 English players who failed to make the revised auction list for the IPL's second season.

Star left-arm spinner Monty Panesar was among the 12 English players who failed to make the revised auction list for the Indian Premier League’s second season.

Nineteen English players had made the initial list of 111 but only seven of them,including star cricketers Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff,have managed to make the cut in the final list of 43.

According to a report in leading daily the ‘Daily Telegraph’,Panesar alongwith pacer Steve Harmison and batsman Ian Bell were ignored as none of the nine franchises was ready to put money on them.

List of England players who made the revised list: Andrew Flintoff (USD 950,000),Kevin Pietersen (USD 1,350,000),Luke Wright (USD 150,000),Owais Shah (USD 150,000),Paul Collingwood (USD 250,000),Ravi Bopara (USD 150,000),Samit Patel (USD 100,000).
