NOTE: This is the not the final team compositions of the IPL teams and there is no auction for uncapped Indian domestic players like Manish Pandey and Ambati Rayudu who would be contracted later on.

We thought of creating a list of recommended budget picks for the rest of the IPL 4 auctions tomorrow. The list we are compiling are “value for money” players though might not be the biggest names around. Below are our list of picks with their base price. We would not include too many players from West Indies, England and Sri Lanka as they might be involved in other international commitments for their respective nations during that time. However, players from England and Sri Lanka have better chance of being able to participate in Indian Premier League compared to West Indies. We are also not including most Indian players as only the Indian players with international appearances are placed in the auction and almost everyone knows about the capped players. So, here goes our list of budget picks with their base prices:

Michael Klinger (Australia) $20,000 (Big Bash winning team South Australia opener and captain with S/R of 156.23; also in great form right now in this year’s ongoing KFC Big Bash T20) [Highly Recommended]

Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh) $100,000 (a real steal for that price and good opener though unsold today) [Highly Recommended]

Dimitri Mascarenhas (England) $100,000 (again a real steal for that price and great T20 allrounder) [Highly Recommended]

Phillip Hughes (Australia) $100,000 (a powerful hitter and good opener)
Moises Henriques (Australia) $50,000
Andrew McDonald (Australia) $50,000
Michael Lumb (England) $50,000 (good opener)
Scott Styris (New Zealand) $100,000 (very good allrounder)
Justin Kemp (South Africa) $100,000 (handy allrounder)
Loots Bosman (South Africa) $50,000 (powerful hitter)
Roelof Van Der Merwe (South Africa) $50,000 (handy allrounder who can hit big too)
Paul Harris (South Africa) $50,000 (good purchase for that price)
Chaminda Vaas (Sri Lanka) $100,000 (good bowler and can also bat a bit; steal for that price)
Suraj Randiv (Sri Lanka) $50,000 (good spinner for that price)
Thisara Perera (Sri Lanka) $50,000 (good allrounder and almost a steal for that price)
George Bailey (Australia) $50,000
Robert Quiney (Australia) $50,000
Ryan ten Doeschate (Netherlands) $50,000 (Very good allrounder from a small team)
Cornelius de Villiers (South Africa) $20,000 (fast bowler and a steal for that price)
Juan “Rusty” Theron (South Africa) $50,000 (fast bowler and a steal for that price)
Colin Ingram (South Africa) $100,000
Morne Van Wyk (South Africa) $50,000

And below are list of relatively higher priced players but still great value for money considering their talent.

Graeme Swann (England) $400,000 (one of the best spinners in the world today who can also bat)
Jacob Oram (New Zealand) $200,000 (very good allrounder for that price)
Murali Kartik (India) $200,000 (he went unsold today but is a very good containing bowler for that price)
Mark Boucher (South Africa) $200,000 (wicketkeeper batsman and a great hitter; steal for that price)
