IPL 2026 Auction player list: The IPL organising committee pulled off yet another overnight surprise by deciding to add 19 more players to the one-day extravaganza slated to be held at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. It is the third change that the IPL had made over the course of the week, which had initially unveiled a 350-player shortlist for 77 spots left across the 10 franchises.
The organisers had previously added nine names to the player pool, which included Tripura all-rounder Manisankar Murasingh, Swastik Chikara, and South African Eathan Bosch. The names were recalled shortly thereafter before making a return late last night, the additions approved by the BCCI.

Among the prominent names in the latest inclusions is Bengal captain Abhimanyu Easwaran, who had a breakthrough Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy season as a T20 batter, after having long regarded for his First-Class game that has elevated him to the India Test side on several occasions over the last three years.
The updated list also includes six overseas players, including Eathan, the brother of South Africa all-rounder Corbin Bosch, at a base price of Rs 75 lakh. Interestingly, Malayasia batter Virandeep Singh has also been included at a base price of Rs 30 lakh. Australia’s Chris Green, South Africa wicket-keeper Kyle Verreynne, Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani and New Zealand’s Ben Sears are the other overseas names.
