The IPL 2024 season is anticipated to kick off from March 22 extending through the end of May, though final scheduling hinges on India’s general election dates. Notably, Australian cricketer Josh Hazlewood will be unavailable for the initial half of the season due to familial commitments. His availability commences only from the first week of May, following the expected birth of his first child.
Furthermore, the availability of players from various cricketing nations adds layers of complexity to team compositions. English players, for instance, will be accessible throughout the season, barring specific commitments and fitness concerns. Conversely, Sri Lanka’s key white-ball players, including Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera, will be fully accessible, while Bangladesh’s Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam are withdrawn due to national team duties.
Intriguingly, players from Afghanistan, New Zealand, South Africa, West Indies, and Zimbabwe are all set to participate fully in IPL 2024, subject to auction acquisitions. Amidst these updates, the anticipation for another thrilling IPL season continues to build, promising exhilarating cricketing action and intriguing team dynamics.
