When James Anderson registered for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction, fans were excited to finally see the legendary pacer in India’s premier league. However, on the day of the auction, Anderson withdrew his name before any team could bid for him.
Is James Anderson playing IPL 2025?
James Anderson was not bought by any team in the IPL 2025 as he withdrew his name on auction day, realizing that no team was willing to include the veteran in their squad. Anderson had set his base price at Rs. 1.25 crore ahead of the auction, but his name never came up for bidding, as it was absent from the auction list on the day.
James Anderson IPL career
Anderson has never participated in the IPL, so it would be a really special entry to the world’s biggest franchise tournament if he gets any buyers at the mega auction later this month in Saudi Arabia.
Anderson’s T20 Record
Anderson’s cricketing legacy is primarily built on his success in Test matches, with his T20 career being comparatively brief. His most recent T20 appearance was in 2014 for Lancashire, and he hasn’t played in the format for England since 2009. In his 44 T20 matches for both club and country, Anderson has taken 41 wickets.
