Delhi: Gujarat Titans (GT) may soon announce the inclusion of Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Mendis in the team for the remaining matches of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 in place of Jose Butler of England. Butler, who has performed brilliantly for the Gujarat Titans this season, was first to be a part of the entire tournament.
Will start from 17 May
However, the IPL 2025 started a week late due to the recent tension between India and Pakistan, and now the final match will be played on June 3 instead of 25 May. In such a situation, due to the limited overs (ODI) series against England’s West Indies starting on 29 May, Butler is looking difficult to play in the final stages of IPL.
Kusal Mendis can get a chance
According to Sri Lankan media reports, Kusal Mendis will soon be officially declared as a replacement player by Gujarat Titans. The report said, “Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Mendis is likely to join Gujarat Titans for the remaining matches of IPL 2025.”
