IPL 2021: Australia players to miss the Finals of Marsh and Sheffield Shield Cup 2021 as a Lucrative IPL auction awaits

The Australian Domestic matches has started also the IPL 2021 auction as well where all the Australian cricketer has given their name for India Premier League matches at India. At the other hand Australian Domestic match’s final is near too the Australian players might miss the Final of Marsh Cup & Sheffield Shield Cup 2021.

While this year’s auction will be a low-key affair (by IPL standards anyway) given teams have retained the bulk of their existing squads, Royal Challengers Bangalore coach Simon Katich believes a multi-million dollar pay-day could still await the right player.

With the Australian domestic season not concluding until April 19, Cricket Australia will not stand in the way of players wanting to leave early, meaning state sides will likely be without some of their best players for the concluding games and finals of the Marsh One-Day Cup and Marsh Sheffield Shield.

Josh Hazlewood, one of the 11 Australians who have been retained by their IPL teams, told The Unplayable Podcast he expects to depart for India in early April ahead of the tournament beginning on April 11.

Tasmania and South Australia are in similar positions.

The Tigers have three players with reasonable hopes of being picked up – Matthew Wade, Ben McDermott and Riley Meredith – though none of them are guaranteed buys, and the same could be said for the Redbacks, who will lose Kane Richardson (retained by RCB) and will sweat on whether Alex Carey, Wes Agar or Jake Weatherald attract interest.
