♠ Denotes Icon Player who will be paid at least 15% more than the next highest earner within their respective franchise.
The players' auction was held on February 20. The IPL placed icon status on a select few marquee Indian players. These players were Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar,Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag. This ensures that these players will play only for their respective city sides--a strategy used to increase fan support and interest amongst locals.[6] Many players from the Australian National Team decided not to submit their names for consideration in the auction. This may have been a direct result of the events of the Sydney Test in the 2007/08 Border Gavaskar Trophy [7] (although key players involved in that issue; Ricky Ponting, Andrew Symonds and Matthew Hayden, have signed for IPL), or Cricket Australia's desire for global protection of their sponsors. No player currently contracted by the England Cricket Board submitted their name, as the tournament directly conflicts with the English National Team's winter schedule. From the 77 players who had put their names for consideration, Mohammad Yousuf and Ashwell Prince were unsigned.
