Oldest player registered for the IPL Auction

England veteran James Anderson is the oldest player at the IPL 2025 mega auction at the age of 42 years and 108 days (as of November 15). He registered for the auction after a long gap as he was only focused on playing Tests for England for the last decade.

However, Anderson retired from international cricket earlier this year and is set to ply his trade at the auction and has also been shortlisted. He last played a T20 match in his career back in August 2014 and has picked up 41 wickets in 44 matches in the format so far. Anderson has kept his base price at Rs 1.25 crore, the new base price slot introduced by the BCCI for the auction.
