IPL 2020 Most Valuable Player of the Season Award winner Jofra Archer has registered himself for the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. The right-arm fast bowler is out with an injury at the moment. However, he has registered himself for the mega auction because he will play in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. The franchises can buy his services this year in advance.
At the moment, it is unclear whether Jofra Archer will be fit to play in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. He missed the entire IPL 2021 season because of an injury. The Rajasthan Royals have not retained him ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. Also, none of the two new teams showed interest in him.
Thus, Archer is a free agent, and the interested teams can acquire his services. Although he is injured now, Archer is a match-winner who can change the game at any moment with his batting or bowling skills. RR finished last in the IPL 2020 season, but the right-arm fast bowler won the Most Valuable Player award.
According to Cricbuzz, Archer’s base price will be INR 2 crore, which is the maximum limit. Here’s what the BCCI informed the 10 franchises about Archer’s availability:
“The ECB has registered Archer for the auction with a view to potential participation in 2023 and 2024, as due to his current injury it is unlikely that he can participate in IPL 2022.”
