I’ll Be Interested To See If Anyone Picks Him Up, Says Cook On Anderson Registering For IPL Auction
Sir Alastair Cook: Former England Test captain Sir Alastair Cook said he would be interested to see if anyone picks veteran pacer James Anderson in the upcoming mega auction for the 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Anderson, England’s leading wicket-taker with 704 scalps, retired from international cricket this year after playing in the Lord’s Test against the West Indies in July. He has now registered for the IPL 2025 mega auction at a base price of INR 1.25 crore.
Anderson, who now works as a fast-bowling mentor with England, last played a T20 game in 2014 and has never played in the IPL before. The IPL 2025 mega auction will be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on November 24 and 25, and has got a longlist of 1574 players.
“I think it’s brilliant, I’ll be interested to see if anyone picks him up. He’s obviously just trying to experience as much cricket as he can. If he doesn’t get picked up that might be it for his cricket, but if he does, what an opportunity, what an experience.”
