A total of 1165 Indian players have registered for the auction, while South Africa (91) have the most registered players among non-Indian teams.
The list of registered players for the IPL 2025 auction is out, and it includes several shocking names. Among them is a retired English legend and an Italian player who has gained some experience after playing in a few T20 leagues.
James Anderson, who retired from international cricket earlier this year, is among the most notable names and has kept his base price at INR 1.25 crores. Thomas Draca, an Italian player, picked by MI Emirates in ILT20, is another surprising name on the list.
Meanwhile, Ben Stokes has not registered his name as he will manage his workload as he looks to remain fit for an away Ashes. He sustained a hamstring injury in The Hundred 2024 and was out for two months before returning to action on the Pakistan tour.
Mitchell Starc, the most expensive player in the IPL history, and Jofra Archer, who has not featured in the league since 2023, have also named themselves in the upcoming IPL 2025 auction. They have kept their base price at INR 2 crores, the highest price category.
The three biggest releases on the retention deadline, who were also the captains of their franchises last season, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer have kept their base price at the highest bracket, INR 2 crores. Other big names at the maximum base price of INR 2 crores are Mohammed Shami, who hasn’t played competitive cricket since the World Cup 2023, and Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, the spin duo of Rajasthan Royals (RR).
