Q1. What does it hold for IPL 2025 in context to overseas players?
Most players sitting with franchises and national duties suspended are likely to go until the first week of June. A few international players who could not even fly back and stay for the remainder of the IPL because they had matches routed through the IPL schedule had a clash with some players from England, West Indies, Australia, and South Africa.
Q2. Is Jos Buttler going to play back with more games for Gujarat Titans?
But it seems that Jos Buttler is on his way back to Gujarat Titans soon, but with the remaining league phase supposedly under his country beginning on May 29, Buttler’s appearance in the IPL playoffs becomes quite doubtful.
Q3. Did any of the important Gujarat Titans players miss out on international duty calls?
Yes, besides Buttler, Gerald Coetzee is not available, but he is coming back. Sherfane Rutherford is going to be a part of the ODI squad for West Indies. Kagiso Rabada is set to join the South African squad for the World Test Championship Final and thus shall cut his IPL stint short after the league stage.
Q4. What effect does unavailability of players have on Royal Challengers Bengaluru?
Josh Hazlewood is going to miss much of the tournament because of a shoulder injury and World Test Championship final commitments. Jacob Bethel and Romario Shepherd’s conditions remain vague; hence they are tough in RCB’s battle into the playoffs.
Q5. What about Mitchell Starc and Jake Fraser-McGurk for Delhi Capitals?
Mitchell Starc has already left for Australia and will not return, while Jake Fraser-McGurk has some uncertainty about whether he would come back, but the team is in contact with him. Probability is that Tristan Stubbs may also not be available after the league phase since he is part of the Test squad for South Africa.
Q6. Is the entire overseas squad going to be available for Mumbai Indians during IPL 2025?
Most of the overseas players for Mumbai Indians will be returning, Will Jacks and Corbin Bosch not being available for the playoffs due to international commitments being some of the exceptions. Spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman yet continues being available for the tournament.
Q7. Do Punjab Kings miss any big international stars?
The Punjab Kings have tracked Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis the most patiently for the clean selection. If either fails to turn up, and Marco Jansen is somewhat speculative, the playoffs can be paved with more gravel.
Q8. What is the reality of KKR players out of the country?
KKR has Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Rovman Powell, and Quinton de Kock, anrich north, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz all wanting to come back. However, it is undecided so far in the case of Moeen Ali and Spencer Johnson.
Q9. Does CSK have a complete squad for the remaining matches?
CSK may possibly take all the players for some match experience because they do not want to make it to the playoffs. Likely to be leaving are Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, and Devon Conway. Rachin Ravindra remains a mystery while Jamie Overton may miss out while Sam Curran will be back.
Q10. Are the Sunrisers Hyderabad players also going back while the playoffs are not defined?
Yes, playoffs out of the picture now; captain Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, and Sri Lankan players kamindu mendis and Eshan Malinga join SRH for the balance of their matches, setting an example by their commitment to the team in the best way.
