IPL 2025 retentions / mega auction

[Third_Man]

No England players retained today. Does that increase the liklihood that Buttler / Livingstone or Salt / Wood might have to play for Lancashire?

Also noticed this:

Players who pull out of the IPL at short notice will be banned from taking part in the following two seasons in a new rule introduced by the IPL.

The rule will impact any player who signs up for an auction and is picked, but pulls out before the start of the season if not for "injury or medical condition".

England players have a habit of doing this e.g. Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood, David Willey and Harry Brook were all among those to pull out of the IPL last year.

Are they less likley to put themselves forward?

Mega Auction sometime in November.

 

[Third_Man]

Jos Buttler, James Anderson and Jofra Archer are among the 52 Englishmen who have signed up for the auction, which will be held on 24 and 25 November.

Stokes has not put his name forward.

9 from Ireland, 2 from Scotland, 33 West Indies, 39 New Zealand, 76 Australia 91 South Africa

Will be funny when Jimmy Anderson goes unsold

Will be funnier seeing him getting sold to be honest.

Italian Thomas draca is in the auction list as well

I would hasten to say he has the best bowling average of anyone in the auction!

There’ll be some team willing to pick him up on name value, and I’d love to see it

Don't see Smith, Garry, Bairstow, Mo or Williamson getting deals. I doubt Rashid will either if he puts himself forward.
