Mohammad Yousuf, who is still stuck in the legal mess surrounding his earlier commitment to the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL), remained unsold. Sources indicated that the letter shot by ICL authorities to IPL franchise team owners on Tuesday — stating that bidding for Yousuf in the auction would lead to legal implications — had forced team owners to look the other way.

As a surprise, former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath also remained unsold. McGrath was touted to be one of the prized picks for the IPL teams.

Both, Yousuf and McGrath, were pitched at a reserve price of US$250000.

West Indies cricketers Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivrarine Chanderpaul, South Africans Ashwell Prince and Loots Bosman and Australians Simon Katich and Justin Langer — all remained unsold.
