Three players, including Saurabh Netravalkar from the United States, have been added to the final list of players for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. The total number of players now stands at 577, with Netravalkar being listed as player No. 576 in the uncapped all-rounder category. Jofra Archer and Hardik Tamore are the other two players who have been added to the roster. Archer is categorized as a capped fast bowler and will be part of Set 6, which will be presented on the first day of the auction. Tamore, on the other hand, is listed in the uncapped wicketkeepers category.
Netravalkar gained recognition during the T20 World Cup earlier this year by taking six wickets in as many games. Archer, who previously played for Mumbai Indians in the IPL in 2023, was initially left out of the shortlist provided to the franchises but has been reinstated. Tamore, who has not yet played in the IPL, has been a consistent performer for Mumbai in domestic cricket.
Netravalkar and Tamore are both in the lowest base price bracket of Rs. 30 lakh, while Archer has a base price of Rs. 2 crore. The IPL 2025 mega auction is scheduled to take place on November 24 and 25 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
