With most international players (barring members of the England squad and Indian Cricket League players) signing up for the first season on multi-season contracts, the emphasis for off-season signings for 2009 were possible up-and-coming young players from international domestic circuits. Some teams, including the Delhi Daredevils sent scouts to domestic and 'emerging player' matches held in Australia to sign up players.[7]

Withdrawals
[edit]Other players opted to withdraw from this particular season from the IPL, but had not ruled out returning in the future. In most cases, the reason for withdrawal was that the players wanted a break from the hectic international schedule. There had also been withdrawals due to injury and also Pakistani cricketers who had their contracts terminated or suspended due to tensions between India and Pakistan since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Most withdrawals were Australian international players, for whom the IPL would be the only break between a series against Pakistan and the upcoming long tour of England which would include The Ashes series. The withdrawals included:
Auction
