BCCI's Huge Shocker To Ben Stokes As He Skips IPL 2025 Mega Auction
Ben Stokes will miss the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the England Test captain did not register for the mega auction, scheduled to be held in Riyad, Saudi Arabia on November 24 and 25. Stokes' name was missing from the long list of 1,574 players who have registered for the player's auction. For the unversed, Stokes won't be eligible to register for the IPL 2026 mini auction, which means that he will be barred from playing the next season too.
