Having the IPL auction on at the same time as The West Test is "not ideal" but Australian players won't let the bling bling distract them.
That's the opinion of outgoing Cricket Australia chief executive Nick Hockley, who also voiced his support of Perth kicking off the Test summer for years to come.
The two-day IPL auction will begin in Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening (AEDT), coinciding with the end of day three of the first Test between Australia and India at Optus Stadium.
