But despite this, that bowler may remain unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. So let’s know about that player who may remain unsold in IPL 2025.
This legend may remain unsold
The legendary player who may remain unsold during the IPL 2025 mega auction is none other than former England cricket team veteran fast bowler James Anderson. It is known that James Anderson has not yet participated in the IPL even once and he has also retired from international cricket. Apart from this, he is 42 years old. Looking at all these things, it seems to be quite confirmed that he may remain unsold during the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Not only this, he was seen playing his last T20 International match in the year 2009. Apart from this, he has not been seen playing in any T20 match since the year 2014. In such a situation, it is almost impossible for him to show his impact in the T20 format after 10 years. Due to this, there are high chances that he remains unsold this season. It is known that James Anderson is currently ranked third among the highest wicket-takers in international cricket. While he is ranked first among current players.
