Monty Panesar ready for IPL auction


England's Left-arm spinner Monty Panesar have been given permission to appear in this year's IPL auction by Sussex.


The next season of IPL will begin on April 3, 2013.

"It's not ideal for us," Sussex's head coach Mark Robinson told, "It could cost us the chance of winning the County Championship, but we understand that it's a great opportunity for the players.

"It's a bit of a myth that players go for the money. Such is the compensation they have to pay to their counties that, unless they go for over $400,000, they probably aren't making a lot. Certainly in the case of Monty, he just wants to improve as a limited-overs cricketer and we respect that."
