All six Yorkshire players interested in gaining Indian Premier League contracts have made it onto the final auction list.
The names of Tim Bresnan, Ajmal Shahzad, Ryan Sidebottom, Andrew Gale, Anthony McGrath and Adam Lyth will all go under the hammer in Bangalore next Saturday and Sunday ahead of the fourth edition of the mega-rich Twenty20 competition in April.
The preliminary list included a massive 416 names and only 66 of those have been cut from the final list.
The IPL runs through the majority of April and May, with any players picked up set to miss as many as seven County Championship matches and a handful of Clydesdale Bank 40 fixtures.
Not all six Tykes are expected to attract bids, something which Gale and Lyth recently revealed, with Bresnan, Shahzad and Sidebottom the most likely to gain interest.
The three of them, who have a reserve price of $200,000 apiece, were part of England’s victorious World Twenty20 squad last year.
Gale, McGrath and Lyth all have a reserve price of $50,000.
