IPL Auction 2025 Players List - England players registered in IPL Mega Auction with price details

The IPL 2025 auction is set to witness intense bidding wars as 49 players from England are in contention to feature in the world’s most prestigious T20 league. England boasts a mix of experienced campaigners like Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, and Jonny Bairstow, alongside emerging stars such as Harry Brook and Gus Atkinson. In 2024, English players had a massive impact, with players like Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran proving to be match-winners for their franchises. This year, the spotlight is on Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, and Moeen Ali, who are expected to fetch high prices due to their consistency and versatility.

In a stunning move, legendary England pacer James Anderson has entered the IPL 2025 auction, marking the first time in his illustrious career he has opted to join the tournament. At 42, Anderson’s decision comes after his retirement from international cricket earlier this year, where he finished as England's highest-ever wicket-taker in Tests with 704 scalps. Despite his remarkable achievements in red-ball cricket, Anderson has stayed away from franchise T20 leagues, with his last T20 appearance dating back to 2014 for Lancashire. His registration, with a base price of ₹1.25 crore, has created a buzz in cricketing circles.

While England’s representation is strong, a few key players are absent from the IPL 2025 auction. Joe Root, a veteran batter, has decided to skip the league to focus on international commitments, particularly in the red-ball format. Additionally, Jofra Archer, who played for the Mumbai Indians in previous seasons, has opted out due to ongoing fitness concerns, leaving a gap in the fast-bowling department.
