Joe Root in IPL2022 auction
Joe Root, England's Test captain, has hinted that he may enter the 2022 IPL auction, four years after going unsold in the lucrative T20 league's auction. The mega-auction for the 2022 season will take place in Bengaluru on February 12 and 13.
Root, regarded as one of the game's modern greats, is yet to compete in the IPL after going unsold in the 2018 auction.
The 31-year-old batsman, on the other hand, indicated he would only participate in the competition if it did not interfere with his Test career.
"Time is ticking but I have a lot to weigh up”, Root added, (according to ESPNcricinfo.com)
"Will it have a negative impact on me playing Test cricket? If I don't think so then I will put myself in the auction. But I will never do anything that will detract from playing Test cricket for England. It's so important to make sure that is the priority for me and other players as well."
