England cricketers will not play IPL?

আইপিএল খেলবেননা ইংল্যান্ডের ক্রিকেটাররা?

Although IPL is called the best franchise league in the cricket world, there is no less debate about it. IPL has survived with equal popularity since its inauguration. This IPL is a gathering of the star cricketers of the entire cricket world. But IPL may not get a bunch of foreign star cricketers in this season of IPL. But is the IPL losing its popularity? Why foreign cricketers do not want to play in this franchise league?

Star cricketers from all over the world are eagerly waiting to play IPL than the national team as money and glamor are a big deal. But several foreign cricketers will not be present in the current season. Mahendra Singh Dhoni will not get the important cricketers of his team in the entire IPL. England’s star cricketer Ben Stokes will return to the country during the IPL. He is not willing to harm his country’s cricket for IPL.

This star cricketer of England was taken by Chennai Super Kings in the IPL for 16 crore rupees. But after the IPL schedule was published, he informed that even if the team reached the final, he would not be able to play in the IPL. Stokes was recently asked whether he would play a Test against Ireland if his team Chennai reached the final in the IPL. England’s Test captain’s simple answer, will definitely play Tests. “Yes, I will definitely play for the country,” Stokes said.

Many times, many national team cricketers cannot play for the country to play in the franchise league. Recently, England is not getting several cricketers from England to visit Bangladesh to play in PSL. Although the country’s cricket officials are worried about this incident. Brendon McCullum, the coach of the country’s Test team, expressed his dissatisfaction with this. The England Cricket Board (ECC) has also discussed this. That is why Chennai is not getting Stokes in the entire IPL.

But like PSL, IPL also has a bunch of star cricketers from England. Among them Joe Root, Murd Wood, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Jofra Archer, Sam Curren, Harry Brooks play for different teams in IPL. If they play in the IPL then England will not be able to field a full strength team against Ireland. And Stokes was asked about this. Asked if he would be able to field a full-strength squad for the Ireland series, Stokes said, “I haven’t spoken to anyone about it yet. But I will talk to them all separately. I will ask them about the preparations for the Ashes.”

Meanwhile, if England enters the field with a full strength team against Ireland, then not only Stokes, but a bunch of star cricketers will not be available in the IPL. It should be noted that the final of IPL will be held on May 28. And the Test match against Ireland at Lord’s will start from June 1.
