England Players in IPL 2024:
Post-IPL 2024, the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 curtain-raiser is set to commence. As the squad announcements echo in, several cricketers will leave the Indian Premier League to answer their national call. Mustafizur Rahman has already departed to represent Bangladesh. Other international stars are also set to bid the IPL farewell mid-season to join their respective national teams.
The major shocker for IPL comes as eight English players, amidst the season, will team up with their national squad. On April 30, the England Cricket Board (ECB) unveiled the team for the T20 World Cup, making it clear that the selected members partaking in the IPL must return on time for the series against Pakistan, kicking off on May 22, 2024, at Headingley.
Consequently, England's players will miss the IPL playoffs, including qualifiers, eliminators, and the grand finale. Phil Salt, Moein Ali, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Will Jacks, and Reece Topley are the prominent names partaking in the IPL that will now reconnect with England's team, dealing a blow to their respective IPL teams.
