The
IPL
mega
auction
would
be
held
in
Bengaluru
on
Feburary
12
and
13.
For
this
edition,
there
would
be
two
new
teams
as
well
—
Ahmedabad
and
Lucknow.
“Time
is
ticking
but
I
have
a
lot
to
weigh
up.
Will
it
have
a
negative
impact
on
me
playing
Test
cricket?
If
I
don’t
think
so
then
I
will
put
myself
in
the
auction.
“But
I
will
never
do
anything
that
will
detract
from
playing
Test
cricket
for
England.
It’s
so
important
to
make
sure
that
is
the
priority
for
me
and
other
players
as
well,”
ESPNcricinfo
quoted
Root
as
saying.
Earlier,
Australia
pacer
Mitchell
Starc
on
Wednesday
had
said
that
he
is
considering
putting
his
name
for
the
upcoming
mega
auction.
Starc
has
played
27
matches
for
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
(RCB)
in
the
competition,
but
he
has
not
turned
up
to
play
in
the
IPL
for
some
years
now.
“I’ve
got
two
days
to
get
my
paperwork
in,
so
that
might
be
something
to
do
today
before
training.
I’ve
not
put
my
name
down
just
yet,
but
I’ve
got
a
couple
more
days
to
decide
on
that.
It’s
certainly
on
the
table
regardless
of
what
the
schedule
has
got
coming
up,”
cricket.com.au
quoted
Starc
as
saying.
“I
haven’t
been
for
six
years
or
so.
Obviously,
with
a
heavy
weighting
towards
T20s
over
the
last
period
of
time
and
the
World
Cup
coming
up
later
this
year,
that’s
one
to
take
into
consideration
as
well.
“There’s
a
bit
going
on
with
scheduling
and
what-not
to
get
our
heads
around,
certainly
for
us
multi-format
players,”
he
added.
IPL
two
new
teams
—
Sanjiv
Goenka
RPSG
Group
for
the
Lucknow
franchise
and
CVC
Capital’s
Ahmedabad
team
on
Tuesday
received
the
formal
clearance
from
the
Board
of
Control
for
Cricket
in
India
(BCCI).
