IPL auction 2010: live

Find out who has signed for who as the Indian Premier League franchises look to invest in the world's best one-day talent.

0730: Graeme Swann failed to attract a single bidder at the Indian Premier League auction on Tuesday morning sending a clear message that the limited availability of England’s players has put off potential buyers.

But there was good news for Eoin Morgan. England’s Irish one-day batsman joins Kevin Pietersen at Bangalore Royal Challengers on a $220,000 contract, only $1.3m lower than his England colleague.

Morgan, unlike Swann, is only a member of the England one-day squad in Bangladesh and is therefore available for almost the entire IPL.

Swann, the England off-spinner, was priced at the highest level and was named in the first pool of players to be sold, normally reserved for the highest profile cricketers, but his name was greeted with silence in the auction room at the New Trident Hotel.

The fact Swann had an incredible 2009 in Test cricket, which saw him reach number three in the world rankings for bowlers, made no difference with IPL sources confirming that his limited availability ruled him out.

Due to England’s tour to Bangladesh Swann would have only have been able to play in the final three weeks of the IPL.

Instead the franchises spent their cash on West Indian allrounder Kieron Pollard and New Zealand fast bowler Shane Bond, who were both sold for the maximum value of $750,000 after a controversial closed tie-break round.

Franchises were only able to bid a maximum of $750,000 but if more than one side pledged the maximum price for a player then a sealed bid secured their signing.

Mumbai Indians outbid Chennai, Bangalore and Calcutta to sign Pollard, who can play in the entire IPL. Calcutta then entered another tie-break but this time were successful in beating Deccan to Bond, who at 34 and recently retired from Test cricket, has a very lucrative final payday.

Bond was barred from the first two IPL tournaments because of his links to the rebel Indian Cricket League.

Wayne Parnell, South Africa’s 20 year-old left arm fast bowler, was bought for $610,000 by Delhi

A frantic final 24 hours in the run up tot eh auction saw Ricky Ponting bought out of his contract by the Calcutta Knight Riders due to his lack of availability.
