The IPL 2023 Auction will take place on Friday (December 23) in Kochi. The owners and team officials of all ten IPL franchises have landed in Kochi for the mini-auction.

A total of 405 players have made the cut in the final list of names to be auctioned ahead of the 2023 season. It's noteworthy that 991 players had enrolled their names for the mini-auction, but the franchises have shortlisted only 369. Thirty-six more names were added by the ten teams before the deadline, taking the total to 405.

However, only a maximum of 87 players can earn contracts at the IPL 2023 auction. That's because the IPL organisers have kept a limit on the maximum number of players a team can have in their squad for the next edition. As per the limit, only a maximum of 87 names will be sold.

Big names like Sam Curran, Ben Stokes, Sikandar Raza, Mayank Agarwal, Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi, Ajinkya Rahane, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma, Cameron Green and several others are part of the auction pool this year.
