Lady luck is not on the side of the English players. Their performances against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in the on-going Test series have been abysmal to say the least, and to add salt to their wounds, none of the English players were able to receive auction bids for the
5th Indian Premier League season, and remained unsold.

the only English representative for the IPL season.

to new franchises.
The top of the priority list were players from Kochi Tuskers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 also withdrew from the IPL.
With the absence of these two franchises, the other IPL franchises like Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indian and Delhi Dare Devils were able to reap the benefits.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RA-Jadeja-c2238, the 23-year-old all-rounder from Kochi, was the main attraction of the show. Both CSK and Deccan Chargers were at loggerheads for the player, who had a base price of $100,000. They both offered massive sums of money for him, but at the end
it was CSK who were able to buy the all-rounder for $2 million.
Former skipper of Kochi, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils. The top three most expensive players in the IPL 2012 auction were all from Kochi.
