USA’s explosive batter Aaron Jones has time and again expressed his desire to participate in the world’s biggest T20 extravaganza—the Indian Premier League. Aaron Jones had stolen the limelight during the 2024 T20 World Cup with his explosive power hitting.
Jones has even proved his credentials as a leader, having led the USA in the USA National Cricket Team in regular skipper Monank Patel's absence. Even the American cricketer had registered for the IPL mega-auction last year with a base price of 30 lakhs.
However, Jones didn't make the final list of players selected for the mega-auction. The 30-year-old was hoping to get an IPL pass after being picked up by the St. Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) as a local player, as the opener holds a Barbados passport as well.

Actually, the St. Lucia Kings are owned by the Indian Premier League franchise Punjab Kings, and that’s why there are hopes of him getting the chance in the tournament, additionally because of his 2024 T20 World Cup campaign in the USA and Caribbean last year.
Well, Jones didn’t get the chance in the Indian Premier League mega auction, but it seems that he is somehow on the radar of a few teams to get the chance to play in the Indian league in the ongoing IPL 2025. The right-handed batter has taken social media by storm with his latest post.
