Indian Premier League franchises have been assembling their teams in the auction ahead of the 2026 season and an array of international stars have been purchased ahead of the forthcoming campaign.
Devon Conway was the first player under the hammer in the IPL auction but the New Zealand star, somewhat surprisingly, went unsold alongside Jake Fraser-McGurk from the first set of players.
Several English players were also unable to obtain a contract for the 2026 season, including Jonny Bairstow, Gus Atkinson, Jamie Smith and Tom Curran.
Australia star Steve Smith was also overlooked.
