Around 1003 players had initially registered for the auction, but the final list was trimmed to 346 after the submission by the eight franchisees. There were also four last-minute entries which took the total to 350.
England’s Eoin Morgan along with Australian Riley Meredith and two uncapped Indians Mayank Dagar and Pranav Gupta have been added to the list.
The intense battle among the eight franchisees is expected to start at 2.30 PM (IST) in Jaipur.
The auction will see 119 capped, 229 uncapped and two associate nation players being auctioned.
The highest base price for the auction is Rs 2 Crore and only nine players are in the top bracket in the initial list and one more added at the eleventh hour in the form of Morgan. There is no Indian in the marquee list.
