England pacer Jofra Archer has reportedly been added to IPL 2025 auction list. The bowler’s name was initially missing from the list of players who are set to go under the hammer on November 24-25. He was a part of Mumbai Indians previously but was released ahead of the auction.
Jofra Archer added to IPL 2025 auction list
As per ESPNCricinfo, Jofra Archer’s addition to IPL 2025 auction list has been informally communicated to all the teams. The report states that the bowler’s representatives were involved in discussions with both BCCI and PCB earlier this week. They reportedly sought clarity on repercussions in the event if he was not a part of the shortlist. However, it is highly unlikely that teams will bid for the injury-prone pacer. Besides, the BCCI has introduced a new rule for overseas player over skipping the tournament after being picked up in the auction. Such an instance will see a 2-year ban imposed on the player who does so without a valid reason.
