James Anderson registers for 2025 Indian Premier League auction, four months on from international retirement; England's record Test wicket taker has never played in the IPL and last played T20 cricket in 2014; Ben Stokes opts out of mega auction, which will be held on November 24-25
England's record Test wicket-taker James Anderson has registered for the IPL 2025 mega auction but Ben Stokes has opted out.
The 42-year-old has not played a T20 match since since 2014 and has never been part of the IPL.
The fast bowler has also not featured in a competitive game since his final Test match and send-off from international cricket at Lord's in July.
Anderson - who has since taken up the role of bowling coach with the England team - has registered a base price of INR 1.25 crore which equates to around £114,000.
Each team has a total of INR 120 crore to build their teams, including retained players, and the auction will be held in Saudi Arabia later this month.
