The following is a list of players who remained unsold in the auction.

Franchises are able sign players after the BPL auction, as replacement of contracted players who are not available to play due to injuries and national commitments. Under BPL rules, the replacements have to be chosen from the pool of players who went unsold in the auction, and cannot be paid more than the players they are replacing, though they can be paid less. The Pakistan Cricket Board refused to issue No Objection Certificates (NOC) to any of its player who were selected by the BPL franchises and therefore Pakistani cricketers will not take part in the 2013 Bangladesh Premier League.^[5]
