Several foreign players to watch out for in IPL 2024 auction

The Indian Premier League 14 (IPL) mini-auction is less than 24 hours away and this time some of the renowned international players are set to appear during the event in Dubai.
There will be some eye-catching picks during the auction as all ten franchises look to fill the overall 77 slots that are available. Some of the top overseas players who are likely to steal the limelight during the auction hail from top cricketing nations like New Zealand, England, Australia and South Africa.
Australia’s 29-year-old opener Travis Head is one of the names who has established himself as one of the biggest cricketing stars in 2023.
He is known to play big knocks for his team when it matters most. He scored a match-winning knock of 163 off 174 balls in the World Test Championship final against India earlier this year.
He once again haunted India in the World Cup final, he took on the opposition bowlers and scored a 137 to guide Australia to their record-extending sixth title.
In T20I, Head has played 23 matches and scored 554 runs at an average of 29.1. Travis has had experience of playing in the IPL for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC). Overall, the left-handed batter has scored 205 runs in 10 matches at an average of 29.29 and a strike rate of 138.51.
The second player who is likely to walk away with a hefty price tag is English youngster Harry Brook. The right-handed batter has become the hottest prospect in the world of cricket following his consistent performances for the Three Lions across the three formats.
In 2022, he announced himself to the world during England’s tour to Pakistan. During England’s victory in Multan in the second Test, Brook played an eye-catching knock of 108 in the second innings which proved crucial in England’s 28-run victory.
