IPL auction at midnight. November 24th and 25th – IPL mega auction will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for two consecutive days. Just before that, BCCI, the governing body of Indian cricket, gave bad news to two cricketers.
Former Kolkata Knight Riders cricketer Manish Pandey and Karnataka cricketer Sreejith Krishnan have been banned from bowling for questionable bowling action. Both have been accused of problems with the bowling action.
Besides, the names of three more cricketers are in the list of suspicious bowling actions. They are – Deepak Hooda, Sourav Dubey and KC Cariappa. However, no final decision has been taken regarding them yet.
Manish won the IPL for KKR. He was seen in Kolkata's jersey last season as well. Manish played important innings in several matches. This time, however, the party did not retain him.
It is believed that the auction table could have been crowded with this experienced cricketer. That possibility is now greatly reduced. Due to the new decision of the board, no team will be able to make Manish bowl. As a result, its price can decrease a lot.
