Jofra Archer Added Back to IPL Auction List

England fast bowler Jofra Archer has been re-added to the IPL auction list just days before the mega auction begins on November 24 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. His name had previously been missing from the 574-player shortlist sent to franchises last weekend, raising questions.

Archer, who set his base price at INR 2 crore, was originally included in the longlist but was left out of the shortlist. Reports suggest that Archer and his representatives have been in talks with the ECB and BCCI to clarify the situation.

Despite missing out on IPL last year due to injury concerns, Archer returned to action in 2023 and played for England in multiple white-ball series. The England pacer is expected to be a valuable addition to any IPL franchise this season.
