Michael Bracewell is a 34-year-old New Zealand all-rounder known for his left-handed batting and right-arm off-spin. He represents Wellington in domestic cricket and has been a regular in New Zealand's white-ball sides since 2022. With no IPL experience so far, he enters the 2026 mega auction as a capped player with a base price of ₹2 crore.
Since he did not feature in IPL 2025, there are no IPL statistics to review. His value is based on consistent international performances, including useful lower-order contributions and economical middle-over spells in T20Is.
Several IPL franchises are expected to show interest, particularly those needing an experienced off-spinning all-rounder who can bat in the middle order. Teams with weaker spin options or looking for depth in their all-rounder pool may view him as a steady, low-risk addition.
In IPL 2026, Bracewell is likely to be used as a floater with the bat and a reliable fourth or fifth bowling option. His expected auction price is projected between ₹2.5-4 crore, depending on how many teams compete for his services on auction day.
