James Anderson, who recently retired from Test cricket as England’s leading wicket-taker, is part of the shortlist, however. The fast bowler was a red-ball specialist through the latter half of his career, and last played a T20 game in 2014, but has expressed an interest, at the age of 42, to be part of the global franchise circuit following the end of his international career. He will be the oldest player at the auction, listed at a base price of INR 1.25 crore, and will be hoping to feature in the IPL for the first time in his career.
