The IPL mega auction will take place in Saudi Arabia on Sunday and Monday.
James Anderson made the shortlist of 574 players as he wants to take part in the tournament for the first time.
The 42-year-old retired from international cricket in July and has not played a T20 since 2014. He has never played in a franchise T20 league.
There have been 41 other English players who have taken part in the IPL, but how many can you name?
That is the challenge that lies ahead of us. We've told you the role they play and the teams they played for (if the team has since changed its name, we'll give you the current name).
You have two guesses for each player. Good luck!
