Citing personal reasons for the withdrawal from the tournament. This last-minute pullout will be a big  impact on both the teams

All three are also part of England’s Ashes plans that will engage them for more than four months. That will be a difficult blow for the SRH, DC, and PBKS squads. Punjab Kings have roped in Aiden Markram as a replacement.

The Delhi Capitals have announced Australian fast bowler Ben Dwarshuis as Chris Woakes’ replacement. 

After the final test was canceled in Manchester, the teams had first decided to organize the travel. Then due to the COVID-19 scare in the Indian camp, the IPL management had to make their arrangements.

All players arriving in Dubai now have to do a six-day quarantine. As a result, now, the players will only feature in the IPL. All the best to all the franchises. May they have a successful quarantine period. A speedy recovery to all the Indian management members who tested positive for COVID-19. The Indian Premier League will begin on 19th September!
