Fans were hoping for Jofra Archer to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 after he was initially absent from the auction list. However, there’s good news for his supporters as the English player has made a last-minute entry into the IPL 2025 mega auction.

Jofra Archer to play IPL 2025

Archer’s name was missing from the final list of players for the IPL 2025 mega auction, even though it was included in the initial list of 1,500 players. The reason for his exclusion from the final list remains unclear. According to reports, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had initially denied permission for Archer and Mark Wood to participate in the IPL to prioritize national cricket commitments. However, it has been reported that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now allowed Archer to participate in the auction.

“Mark Wood and Jofra Archer were on the initial longlist for the auction but then weren’t on the shortlist and it turns out by the sounds of it that the ECB have denied them NOCs [non-objection certificates. I am hearing there are some negotiations going on right now between the BCCI, the ECB and the agents,” cricket broadcaster Matt Kabir Floyd said on the It’s Not Just Cricket podcast.

Reports suggest that Archer convinced the ECB to allow him to participate in the upcoming IPL season. The ECB granted him permission after recognizing his strong desire to play in IPL 2025.
