The Caribbean cricketers are among 112 overseas players who will be on action.
Not surprisingly, Australians dominate the list with 27 players.
Each franchise has a maximum of two million US dollars to spend on their overseas signings in the auction.
The auction is set to take place in Goa on February 6 ahead of the Twenty/Twenty tournament, which runs from April 10 to May 29.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who played in the 2008 IPL, currently holds the record having cost Chennai Super Kings, 1 point 5 million dollars last year.
