MI & CSK as always have their core in hand... We need to wait till auction is done to get a probable picture for starting XI for all teams.

KKR can easily fit in Siddhesh Lad in middle order this guy who is kind of solid 4 day game middle order batsmen is turning effective in good limited overs player off late and can turn arm over also..Russell is batting too high to start with but he can be a floater can come up if they get good start. KKR need two good openers may be they can go after evin lewis.

Lad usually is middle order bat in FC cricket, bats at 4 or 5 primarily...

Starc is a big question mark whether he will play or not and his fitness..

If he is willing to play and is fit..many franchises will jump over him...especially RCB where they need a gun bowler like him....

Steve Smith to lead Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2020, confirms new coach Andrew McDonald

Interestingly, RR have this season released Rahane and the India player will now be turning up for Delhi Capitals in the next edition of the IPL.

 

New Delhi: Having taken over from Ajinkya Rahane mid-season in the last edition of the Indian Premier League, Steve Smith will lead Rajasthan Royals from the start in the 2020 edition of the cash-rich league. Staggering in the bottom half of the table with just two wins from eight games, RR saw a change in fate after Smith took over as they won four games on the bounce.

Speaking to IANS, new coach Andrew McDonald confirmed the same and said that he was looking to work together with the former Australia skipper and take RR to greater heights.

"I think Steve Smith is the logical choice after the season last year as he stepped in half way through and we saw a real spark in the performance from the team aspect. I think continuity is important from the point of view of captaincy. He has got an understanding of how players go about it on the field and understands how the bowlers think. I think it is critical to have a captain who understands the players that he is working with.

"Has also had a great time with the Australian team as well. He has been there under pressure and done it before. Really looking forward to working with him. Haven't had the opportunity to work with him at this level, really looking forward to that. Have had a few initial conversations with him, he will be our captain for the season," he said.

With Rahane's removal as skipper creating quite some noise among fans and scribes, RR had said: "Rahane, someone who embodies all the qualities you'd expect from a Rajasthan Royals player, took the reins for our first few games, allowing Smith to settle in. We did not have a great start to the season, but our skipper was in good form, scoring a sublime 70 against SRH and providing a strong start during a successful chase against MI in Mumbai.

"Keeping Ajinkya's role as a successful opener for the team in mind and to release him of captaincy pressures, Smith was made captain before our home game against MI. The two continued to take leadership calls, and Rahane continued to score runs, including a majestic hundred against Delhi Capitals. The team got back to winning ways."

Interestingly, RR have this season released Rahane and the India player will now be turning up for Delhi Capitals in the next edition of the IPL.

Mitchell Starc opts out of IPL 2020, Glenn Maxwell back in auction pool

Australia's Glenn Maxwell and Chris Lynn are among seven players who have listed their base price at the maximum of INR 2 crore (USD 279,000 approx) for the IPL 2020 auction, scheduled for December 19 in Kolkata. Fellow Australian Mitchell Starc, the highest wicket-taker in the last two 50-over World Cups, was a notable absentee, as was England's Test captain Joe Root, among the 971 names to have registered for the auction.

Apart from Maxwell and Lynn, the others to list their base price at INR 2 crore are Australia fast bowlers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, Australia allrounder Mitchell Marsh, South Africa quick Dale Steyn, and Sri Lanka batsman Angelo Mathews.

Starc, the 29-year old left-arm quick, has opted out of the IPL for the second successive season. Starc last featured in the league in 2015, when he represented Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the 2018 IPL auction, Starc had been signed by Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 9.4 crore, but he was sidelined from the entire tournament with injury.



Earlier this year, Starc was recovering from injury ahead of the IPL 2019 auction and prioritised the World Cup over the IPL. Starc, however, is set to feature in the inaugural season of The Hundred, slated for next year, having emerged as the first overseas pick for Welsh Fire, signed for USD 160,000 approx.


Mitchell Starc's name will be a notable absentee at the upcoming IPL auction ESPNcricinfo Ltd
Along with Starc, Maxwell and Aaron Finch had also pulled out of the previous auction. Both Maxwell and Finch are back in the auction pool for next season's IPL.

Maxwell had recently taken a break to deal with "difficulties with his mental health", but he made a positive return to club cricket on November 23. No time frame has been set by Cricket Australia for his national-team return, but Maxwell putting his name up for the auction might come as an encouraging sign.

Maxwell had missed the IPL last year in order to prepare for the World Cup and the Ashes. He wasn't eventually picked in Australia's red-ball squad, but Maxwell enjoyed a good time in the T20 Blast, helping Lancashire to the quarter-finals with 305 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of nearly 151.

Maxwell has been part of Kings XI Punjab, Mumbai Indians, and Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in the past. In all, Maxwell has scored 1397 runs in the IPL at an average of 22.9 and strike rate of 161.13.

In the 2018 auction, Maxwell was signed by the Delhi franchise for INR 9 crore (USD 1.4 million approx then). At the same auction, Lynn became the most expensive overseas player, when Knight Riders signed him for INR 9.6 crore (USD 1.5 million approx then). The franchise had first signed Lynn in 2014 and kept faith in him even when the aggressive opener was troubled by a long-term shoulder injury. But Knight Riders were concerned by the drastic drop in Lynn's strike rate over the last two years, and consequently opted to release him.



Among other overseas big names in the auction list is the South Africa seam-bowling allrounder Chris Morris, who became the only retained player in 2018 to be released ahead of the upcoming auction. Morris was the second player to be retained by Capitals ahead of the 2018 auction for INR 11 crore.

In the 2019 IPL, Morris played nine matches and managed 13 wickets at an economy rate of 9.27 and scored just 32 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 86.48.

Among Indian players, Robin Uthappa has listed his base price at INR 1.5 crore (USD 209,000 approx). Uthappa and legspinner Piyush Chawla had been bought back by Knight Riders via the right-to-match card option in the IPL 2018 auction. However, diminishing returns from both seniors promoted the franchise to release them.

Among the English contingent, Tom Banton, who recently made his international debut and was later in action in the T10 league, has entered the IPL auction pool for the first time. The 21-year-old has listed his base price at INR 1 crore (USD 139,500 approx). Also in the fray will be England's World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan, who went unsold in the 2019 auction. He has set his base price at INR 1.5 crore.

Seventy-three slots to fill

The IPL auction, which will be held in Kolkata for the first time, will not be a massive affair, considering teams will overhaul their squads once again ahead of the mega auction in 2021. This auction will mostly be about plugging gaps and hiring back-ups. Also, with the IPL capping squad strength at 25, only 73 slots remain for the eight franchises to fill up. Out of these, up to 29 can be overseas players.

On Monday, the IPL sent the player longlist to the franchises, asking them to submit the names they would want to be retained before the final auction list is prepared. Incidentally, none of the 19 capped Indian players have listed their base price at INR 2 crore. One hundred-and-ninety-six capped overseas players and two Associate players will also be up for grabs.

The VIVO IPL Player Registration closed on 30th November with 971 players (713 Indian and 258 overseas players) signing up to be a part of the VIVO IPL 2020 Player Auction set to take place in Kolkata on 19th December 2019.

Aiming to fill up the available 73 spots are 215 capped players, 754 uncapped and 2 players from Associate Nations.

Capped Indian (19 players)
Uncapped Indian (634 players)
Uncapped Indians who have played at least 1 IPL match (60 players)
Capped International (196 players)
Uncapped International (60 players)
Associate (2 players)

Franchises will now have time until 5:00 PM IST, Monday, 9th December to submit their shortlist of players that will make up the final VIVO IPL 2020 Player Auction list.

Hugh Edmeades will once again be the auctioneer.
