Bangalore: The Indian Premier League looks to recapture its lost sparkle this weekend with a player auction at which teams will bid big bucks to secure some of finest talent in world cricket.
The annual IPL tournament revolutionised the sport when it burst onto the scene in 2008 with a high-octane blend of international star players, Twenty20 matches and Bollywood glamour.
But its future looked gloomy last year after allegations of massive corruption, money-laundering and tax evasion, as well as secret deals to hide teams' real owners, and even links to India's criminal underworld.
Former West Indies captain Brian Lara and England's Ashes hero James Anderson will be among those going under the hammer at the auction in Bangalore on Saturday and Sunday.
They are among 21 cricketers with the highest reserve price of $400,000 for a three-year contract, with teams such as the Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians likely to force prices sky-high in a fierce bidding war.
Other foreigners up for grabs include Australians Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee, England's Kevin Pietersen, South Africans Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis, and New Zealand's Daniel Vettori.
The tournament, to be held from April 8 to May 22, is expected to feature 10 teams after Indian courts overturned the expulsion of the Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab.
