England fast bowler Jofra Archer has not made it to the final list of players for the IPL 2025 auction, set to take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on November 24 and 25. The final list features 574 players, including 366 Indians and 208 overseas, with Archer notably absent.
In contrast, veteran James Anderson has been included. The 10 IPL teams have 204 available slots to fill, with 70 reserved for overseas players. The auction will begin at 12:30 PM local time (3:00 PM IST).
Also missing from the list is Cameron Green, who was part of a major trade between RCB and MI for INR 17 Crore. Green recently underwent surgery for a long-term lower-back stress fracture, ruling him out for six months, including the Australian summer.
