Final list of players auctioned for IBL
Here is the final list of players sold in the IBL auction today. World No.1 Lee Chong Wei, was bought by Mumbai Masters for a stunning $135,000, followed by India’s very own World No.3, Saina Nehwal, who went to Hyderabad Hot Shots for $120,000, $70,000 above her base price.
The IBL, inspired by cricket’s popular Indian Premier League, is to be held from August 14-31 and features six city-based franchises sold to business houses and individuals. But the million dollar event has lost much of its sheen with the Chinese shuttlers backing out.
The organisers of the IBL, however claim that there is a very good reason for this. In an interview one of the organisers stated, “The Chinese will not be coming this year mainly because the IBL clashes with their national games.”
