IPL 2025 auction set for Jeddah with 574 players available

The Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on November 24-25. Franchises are preparing to build their teams, with a pool of 574 players available, including notable names like Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. Punjab Kings has the largest budget, having retained only two uncapped players. In contrast, Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals face challenges as they have used all their retentions. Among the players to watch are 42-year-old James Anderson, the oldest player in the auction, and 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the youngest. Other notable players include Scotland's Brandon McMullen and former U-19 World Cup captain Unmukt Chand.
