As the IPL 2026 auction approaches, the list of available players has expanded with the addition of 19 late entries. Among them are Abhimanyu Easwaran, a promising batter from Bengal, New Zealand pacer Ben Sears, and South African all-rounder Ethan Bosch. Easwaran’s inclusion is noteworthy given his past proximity to an international debut. Sears has represented the Black Caps in Test and ODI formats, while Bosch has played ODIs for South Africa. Other international cricketers making the list include Virandeep Singh of Malaysia, Chris Green of Australia, Kyle Verreyanne of South Africa, and Blessing Muzarabani from Zimbabwe. These additions bring the total number of players in the auction pool to 369. The event, set to be held in Abu Dhabi, will witness franchises strategizing to acquire top talent for the 2026 season, with 77 player slots to be filled across all ten teams.
