Very bad thing happened to James Anderson (Photo-PTI)
James Anderson, one of the world’s great fast bowlers, retired from international cricket, but now his dream was to play in the IPL. With this hope, this player had put his name in the IPL auction. Anderson was hoping that some team would definitely buy him in the IPL auction, but that didn’t happen. Let alone Anderson’s purchase with a base price of Rs 1.25 crore, his name did not even appear in the auction. All 10 teams had a great game with James Anderson. In fact, the IPL teams decided not to include his name in the auction. That is, no team wanted to buy it. Anderson’s name didn’t even appear in the expedited auction.
Anderson wanted to play IPL
James Anderson is 42 years old and this season he was the oldest cricketer to put his name in the IPL auction. Anderson said that he wants to play IPL, his body is still fit and he can learn a lot from IPL. With this hope he went to the auction but did not find a buyer.
James Anderson’s dream of playing in the IPL is now crushed! 💔 No franchise was interested and no offers were received during the accelerated round, that broken dream hurts his heart.#TATAIPLAuction #auctionpl2025#IPLAAuction #JamesAnderson Unsold. #IPLAuctiononJioStar pic.twitter.com/wMxttXUPpF
