The final list of 574 players who will be up for auction at the IPL 2025 mega auction has been revealed by the BCCI. For the auction, 574 players were selected from a total of 1574 registered players. England speedster Jofra Archer was a major surprise withdrawal from the final roster. James Anderson, 42, makes the cut with a base price of Rs 1.25 crore, but Archer's name is missing. Archer failed to make the final list despite registering for the IPL 2025 super auction at a base price of Rs 2 crore.
70 of the 204 spots available to the 10 franchises are for players from other countries. Cameron Green, who was previously involved in a high-profile mega-trade between the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, is also not included in the final IPL 2025 auction list. The Australian all-rounder was acquired by RCB for a substantial fee of Rs 17 crore. However, because of his recent surgery to treat a chronic lower-back stress fracture, Green is conspicuously missing from the auction list.
Jofra Archer snubbed from the final list
The 28-year-old Archer has struggled to keep healthy over the past few years due to a string of elbow and back problems. However, he was able to put together a string of reliable white-ball cricket performances this summer, beginning in May and continuing through the T20 World Cup, The Hundred, and the limited-overs series against Australia. At 42, the retiring Anderson is hoping to be selected at auction and make his IPL debut.

The two-day event is set to begin at 3:30 PM IST on November 24 and 25, 2024, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. With 204 spots available, including 70 for players from abroad, teams will have a wide selection to pick from. 574 individuals were selected from a total of 1574 players that registered for the mega auction (1165 Indians and 409 foreigners).
366 Indian players and 208 foreign players, including three from partner countries, make up the 574 players. A combination of seasoned campaigners and up-and-coming talent may be found on the auction list. There are 193 capped foreign players and 48 capped Indian players overall. With 318 Indians and 12 foreign players in this group, there will also be a sizable number of uncapped players at the auction.
