    "editor1": "<p>New Delhi, Feb 14 (CRICKETNMORE): As many as seven cricketers, including Indian pacer Ishant Sharma, have their base price as Rs 2 crore in the Indian Premier League (IPL) players&#39; auction to be held on February 20 in Bengaluru, it was announced on Tuesday. A total of 351 players will go under the hammer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Others in the highest base price bracket are Englishmen Ben Stokes, Eoin Morgan and Chris Woakes; Australian fast bowlers Mitchell Johnson and Pat Cummins; and Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews, IPL&#39;s website said.&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/bcci-names-unchanged-squad-for-first-two-tests-against-australia--23885\">BCCI names unchanged squad for first two Tests against Australia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A maximum of 76 players, including 28 overseas, can be bought at the auction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Stokes, Morgan and Woakes were crucial members of the English team which lost the 2016 World Twenty20 final to the West Indies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mathews featured in Kolkata Knight riders, now-disbanded Pune Warriors India and Delhi Daredevils in the history of IPL. While playing Pune and Delhi, the all-rounder had been auctioned for more than Rs 5 crore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It will be interesting to see how the franchisees react when the name of Johnson will come. The left-armer has retired from international cricket and even though, he has enough IPL experience, Rs 2 crore is seen as too high.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ishant, who played for Rising Pune Supergiants, will also look to prove that he can be good enough in the shorter formats as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Among the players, who are in the Rs 1.5 crore bracket, New Zealand pacer Trent Boult, English wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow and West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder can be interesting picks for the franchises.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson, English bowling all-rounder Chris Joran and Irfan Pathan will also be on focus.<\/p>\r\n",
