Ben Stokes

Troubled England all-rounder Ben Stokes and Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin are among the 16 marquee players for the IPL Players' Auction in Bangalore on January 27 and 28. Australian speedster Mitchell Starc and England captain Joe Root are also among the top foreigners who will be under the hammer. Root's entry in the marquee list is an indication that the England and Wales Cricket Board has finally understood what their players want.
