Australian cricketers are in high demand at the IPL. Even if they are unsold in one auction, they have a good chance to play IPL in the next season. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three unsold Australian players in the IPL 2025 Auctions who could get a bid for IPL 2026.
Australia produces top T20 players, and they also gain experience in various T20 leagues. Hence, such players find takers all the time in the IPL, especially with many coaches also hailing from Australia.
1) Matt Short
Matt Short has played in the IPL before. However, as a player, he looks more confident now, especially with his run in the Major League Cricket. While he is a top-order batter, Short has the experience of performing well in the other batting slots, as well. Apart from this, he can also produce some overs of spin, which will further help the side.
2) Jason Behrendorff was one of the unsold players in the IPL 2025 Auctions
The left-arm pacer did well in the last BBL. If he remains in the same form, he is sure to get a bid. MI might want to replace Reece Topley, and Jason could be useful. Likewise, LSG would also need someone experienced in the powerplay. Therefore, the powerplay specialist could stand a chance.
3) Cooper Connolly
Teams are now investing in young cricketers for the future. The young all-rounder from Australia has tremendous potential. Even Australia is investing in him across formats. If he turns out to be useful, teams would have hit a jackpot. Sides such as SRH and Gujarat Titans could like a profile like his. An all-rounder doing a job in both the departments is always useful in an IPL side. Hence, he is on this list.
