IPL4 - who will be retained

The IPL Governing Council met recently and announced that only 4 players from the existing squad can be retained for IPL4. Who will these players be? The senior players like Ganguly, Dravid, Kumble might not make it back. Shane Warne, without Lalit Modi, will be a big doubt. Similarly, Adam Gilchrist, Hayden and other senior players are unlikely to continue having money being poured by the franchisees.

Crystal-gazing into it, this is my list.

Yuvraj ($1.0m in auction) will leave KXIP. Not great batting record in IPL but useful spinner and big-match player.
