England players miss out on IPL

It is one of five cricketers of England today on sale at IPL auction were sold. The only players from the England squad today, which will play in the fifth season of the IPL are Kevin Pietersen - who was transferred to the Delhi Daredevils to a reported U.S. $ 2 million - Eoin Morgan, who is part of the Kolkata Knight Riders squad and Stuart Broad , which was bought by Kings XI Punjab in 2011.

James Anderson, Matt Prior, Graeme Swann, Ian Bell and Ravi Bopara not attract any bids. Chris Tremlett had been listed in the auction, but withdrew after flying home from England's tour of the UAE with an injury.

The news will be welcomed by administration of England, who wanted the maximum time for the England players to rest after the tour of Sri Lanka, ending on April 7, and prepare for the start of the international summer, which begins at 17 May against West Indies in. Mr.

Anderson hoped to use the IPL to press its request for a recall to the England side ahead of the Twenty20 World Twenty20 in September, but its base price of $ 300,000 was too much to attract some interest. He last played Twenty20 cricket in England in 2009 and talked about players not being given more opportunities to develop their skills T20.

Pietersen was transferred to the adventurers of the Deccan Chargers before the auction. He will join India batsman Virender Sehwag and David Warner of Australia for the fifth season of the IPL. He was first signed by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009 to $ 1,550,000, but when the players re-auctioned in 2011, saw its price drop Pietersen to $ 650,000. Morgan, on the other hand, saw its price rise in the auction of 2011, when the Knight Riders bought him for $ 350,000. He had been the only England player to be handed a new contract before the 2010 season, when the Royal Challengers hired for $ 220,000. Broad was bought for $ 400,000 in Kings XI in 2011.
