Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL) will definitely see the absence of some big foreign players in the last phase of 2025, but there will be no decrease in the popularity and quality of the tournament. It is believed that IPL chairman Arun Dhumal.
Star players like Mitchell Starc, Jake Fraser-Makgark, Jofra Archer and Sam Karan, have withdrawn the name from the tournament due to personal and national commitments.
IPL chairman Arun Dhumal clarified that the BCCI is not pressurizing any player to play. He said, “We want to maintain good relations with all players and boards. The schedule of the tournament has increased a week, and we knew that it can cause a conflict for some players. This is an in-house challenge, but we are happy that most of the players have returned and we are confident that the quality of the league will remain.”
The Delhi Capitals (DC) has suffered a setback with the absence of Mitchell Starc, who have performed brilliantly so far. However, the team has immediately called Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman, who will join the team on 18 May. The Mumbai Indians will also miss the absence of Ryan Recelton and Will Jacks, but the team management is planning to include Johnny Bairstow. However, the official confirmation on this is yet to be done.
Apart from this, many franchisees are interacting with other players, so that a strong team can be launched in the playoffs.
