IPL 2024: Heads up, IPL fans! Just before IPL 2024 kicks off, Pakistan has thrown a curveball. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has scheduled a 5-match T20 series against New Zealand, right in the middle of the IPL season!
Why This Matters:β
This series might force several key New Zealand players to leave the IPL and return home. With 14 Kiwi players participating in the IPL, including big names like Colin Munro, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, and Rachin Ravindra, this could be a big headache for all the franchises.

The Reason Behind The Potential Exodus:β

The Impact:β
If New Zealand players leave midway, it will disrupt team strategies and force franchises to find replacements. This unexpected turn of events could put a damper on the entire IPL season.
