Eight Sri Lankan cricketers are in the final list of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Thilina Kandamby, Nuwan Kulasekera, Thissara Perera, Chamara Silva, Upul Tharanga, Kaushalya Weeraratne, Chanaka Welegedara, Nuwan Zoysa are in the confirmed list.

IPL has announced a list of 51 players including a player each from Holland and Canada, but none from England for its third auction later this month.

Hard-hitting batsman Kieron Pollard tops a list of eight West Indies players who have made the final list for the auction on January 19, while 11 players from Australia - two more than the nine from the initial list revealed last week - will feature in the auction.

Eion Morgan and Jonathan Trott were among eight England players who had featured in the long list of 96 players, but their names are among those dropped.

Their availability for the third season of the IPL is believed to be the reason for them being left out.

Each of the eight teams in the IPL will be allowed to spend a maximum of US dollars 750,000 (£468,000) at the auction, but it was still unclear how many spots are available as each team has a cap of 10 overseas players.

The final list: Mohammad Aamer, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Umar Akmal, Rana Naved-ul Hasan, Imran Nazir, Abdul Razzaq (all Pakistan), Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh), Sulieman Benn, Darren Bravo, Daren Ganga, Wavell Hinds, Kieron Pollard, Kemar Roach, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Lendl Simmons (all West Indies), Doug Bollinger, Brad Haddin, Phillip Hughes, Ashley Noffke, Jason Krejza, Ben Laughlin, Graham Manou, Damien Martyn, Clint McKay, Peter Siddle, Adam Voges (all Australia), Shane Bond, Grant Elliot, Nathan McCullum, Lou Vincent (all New Zealand), Rizwan Cheema (Canada), Zander de Bruyn, Justin Kemp, Rory Kleinveldt, Yusuf Abdulla, Wayne Parnell, Vernon Philander, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Johan van der Wath, Vaughn van Jaarsveld (South Africa), Murray Goodwin (Zimbabwe), Thilina Kandamby, Nuwan Kulasekera, Thissara Perera, Chamara Silva, Upul Tharanga, Kaushalya Weeraratne, Chanaka Welegedara, Nuwan Zoysa (Sri Lanka) and Ryan Ten Doeschate (Holland).
