IPL franchises are firming up their plans for the second auction of players which is to be held on February 6, CNN-IBN has learnt.
According to sources, if England's players do become available then the Chennai Super Kings are likely to net Andrew Flintoff.
The struggling Bangalore Royal Challengers, meanwhile, in all probability will bag England captain Kevin Pietersen.
Even though the trading window is open for already contracted players, most teams are adopting a wait and watch approach.
Newspaper reports suggested that Zaheer Khan of the Bangalore Royal Challengers and Rohit Sharma of the Deccan Chargers were to be released. Both were said to be headed for the Mumbai Indians, who wanted the players to play in their home city.
But those moves have fallen through. Zaheer has been in great bowling form of late and Rohit was the highest scorer for Hyderabad in the first season.
