IPL 2025: England’s Test captain Ben Stokes will not feature in the upcoming IPL 2025 season after opting out of the IPL mega auction, which is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on November 24 and 25, 2024. Stokes’ name is absent from the long list of 1,574 players who have registered for the auction, marking a significant decision for the all-rounder’s IPL future.

Ben Stokes Misses Out on IPL 2025 Auction

Ben Stokes, who had previously decided to skip the 2024 IPL season to manage his workload and focus on fitness, will now also miss the 2025 season due to the IPL governing council’s new rule. According to this rule, any overseas player who does not register for the mega auction will be ineligible to participate in the following year’s player auction, making Stokes unavailable for both the 2025 and 2026 IPL seasons.
