3 players who retired in 2024 could play IPL 2025: Cricket fans in India as well as around the world are keeping an eye on the developments related to the mega auction of IPL 2025. On November 5, it was also announced that the mega auction would be held in Jeddah on November 24-25. This time 1574 players have sent their names for the auction, which includes 1165 Indian and 409 foreign players. In such a situation, the fate of many players would be at stake. Like every time, some players are also participating in the mega auction, who have said goodbye to international cricket.

This year also many players retired from international cricket but they are part of the mega auction and if they are bought by any franchise then they can be seen showing their talent in IPL 2025. In this article, we are going to mention 3 such star players, who took retirement this year but can now be seen playing in IPL 2025.

3. James Anderson

James Anderson ended his career this year as the fast bowler with the highest wicket taker in the history of Test cricket. Anderson wanted to play longer but was forced to retire. However, now his focus is on franchise cricket and for this he has also registered his name in the mega auction. In such a situation, if any team buys him, then he can be seen playing in IPL 2025.

2. Moeen Ali

All-rounder Moeen Ali had announced his retirement from international cricket in September. He had said that now is the time to give a chance to young players in the national team. However, Moeen will still continue to feature in T20 cricket in leagues around the world and will also feature in the IPL 2025 mega auction. Moeen has been released by Chennai Super Kings. This player is expert in doing wonders with bat and ball and probably some team can definitely bet on him.

1. David Warner

Explosive opener David Warner had put an end to his international cricket career after Test cricket earlier this year and then the T20 World Cup in June. Warner has also sent his name in the mega auction, as Delhi Capitals did not retain him. Many teams are looking for captain and opener for the next season of IPL. For this reason, it is possible that Warner's luck may also shine and he may get a chance to play in IPL 2025.
