Australia players, on the back of their victory in India at the 50-over World Cup last month, look likely to be in demand.
Left-arm quick Mitchell Starc is set to return to the IPL after an eight-year absence while captain Pat Cummins and batter Travis Head, who scored a sensational 137 in the final against India, are also up for grabs.
New Zealand all-rounder Rachin Ravindra, another star of the World Cup, is hoping to be picked up for the first time and has set his base price relatively low. Also, keep an eye on Sri Lanka leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga and India bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur.
The schedule means England players will be free to play in most of the competition but those picked for June’s T20 World Cup may be recalled for a series against Pakistan in late May which could clash with the latter stage.
