James Anderson registers for IPL 2025 auction at age 42

James Anderson, the 42-year-old English pacer, has registered for the IPL 2025 auction, surprising many in the cricket community. This marks a significant shift as he recently retired from international cricket and has limited T20 experience. With 1,574 players vying for 204 spots, Anderson stands out as the oldest participant. He has set a base price of ₹1.25 crore and expressed a desire to embrace new challenges and expand his cricket knowledge. Anderson's T20 record is modest, with his last match in 2014. While his lack of recent T20 play may concern franchises, his experience and leadership could appeal to teams seeking veteran guidance.
