Here’s Ali Martin on three England players to watch:

Sam Curran: Can a breakthrough summer against India in Test cricket translate to IPL riches? He’s centrally contracted by England and has their blessing to play in the whole thing, was the talk of the franchises a little while ago, so may well get a gig.

Eoin Morgan: Like the rest of the England ODI side, the captain is restricted to just four weeks and must return to UK by 23 April. He’s a late addition to the auction, having originally not made the shortlist. Went unsold last time, so will do well to get picked up.



Pat Brown: Uncapped Worcestershire seamer who finished leading wicket-taker in the Blast during the summer. Low base price and an element of the unknown (he has mastered the knuckle ball, such that the quicker ball is his shock delivery) could see a team looking at the stats, rather than profile, snap him up.
