England Announces Squad, Players Gotta Bounce
The England and Wales Cricket Board just revealed their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Unfortunately, this means the 8 English players in the IPL will have to head back to England before the playoffs.
Why? Because England and Pakistan are locking horns in a 4-match T20 series right before the World Cup. This series kicks off on May 22nd, making these players unavailable for the IPL playoffs.
Who Are These 8 Players?
- Rajasthan Royals: Jos Buttler (This is a big one for RR!)
- Chennai Super Kings: Moeen Ali (CSK might feel the pinch here)
- Kolkata Knight Riders: Phil Salt
- Punjab Kings: Sam Curran, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone (Ouch! That’s a lot of firepower missing for Punjab)
- Royal Challengers Bangalore: Will Jacks, Reece Topley
Big Names, Big Losses For These Teams
Losing these players is a major setback for Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
