Jofra Archer shockingly failed to make the cut in the pruned list of players who will be up for grabs in the IPL 2025 mega-auction. There is a reason why the IPL franchises said a 'no' to the England pacer.

Jos Buttler, Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone are among the 37 England-qualified individual who will be up for sale.

England fast bowler Jofra Archer is not shortlisted for the Indian Premier League auction for 2025 but James Anderson is included.

There could be two reasons for Archer’s absence from the mega auction. Either none of the 10 franchises showed interest in Archer when submitting their list to the BCCI, or the ECB withdrew him from IPL 2025 to manage his workload.

The final list of players for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) player auction 2025 has been released, with notable exclusions of England pacer Jofra Archer and Australian all-rounder Cameron Green.

Jofra Archer was part of Mumbai Indians for IPL 2022 and IPL 2023 but was released by the franchise later. He has not been named in the final list of players shortlisted by the IPL Governing Council for the 2025 mega auctions.

England legend James Anderson has been included in the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction shortlist for 2025, while fast bowler Jofra Archer has been left out.

Mumbai Indians had bought Archer at the 2022 mega auction for Rs 8 crore and after being entirely absent in the first season, he played just four matches in 2023 season before heading home after a recurrence of the elbow injury.

Jofra Archer and Mark Wood are not on the shortlist for the 2025 Indian Premier League auction as England look to carefully manage their workload for what shapes as a crucial year for the Test team.
