The second day of the IPL auction proved disappointing for Bangladesh, as Mustafizur Rahman and Rishad Hossain were listed, but failed to attract any bids. Towhid Hridoy, Liton Das, Taskin Ahmed, and Shakib Al Hasan were also left out, with no teams expressing interest in any of the Bangladesh stars.
Shakib Al Hasan, who has represented Bangladesh the longest in the IPL, was notably left out of the auction this year. Mehedi Hasan Miraz also failed to attract any interest from IPL teams.
The second day of the mega auction is underway in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, following the selection of 84 cricketers on the first day. A total of 577 players will be auctioned over two days, with 72 cricketers securing teams yesterday. In total, up to 204 players are expected to be picked, including 70 foreign players.
