BCCI pressure on foreign boards to send players for IPL 2025, some are still ‘anxious’: Report

BCCI and IPL franchisees have increased the pressure on the foreign boards to allow their players to return to the restart of the league on May 17, despite some security concerns after the Indian-Pakistan military hostility. BCCI Top Pirinç told IPL COO HEMANG Amin to talk individually to eliminate the concerns of Returning to India, such as Cricket Australia and England and Wales Cretchy Board (ECB).

The entire 10 teams are very back and forth with their overseas troops during their arrival plans in India, one day after the IPL announced the review of the promised program following the necessary security permits from the government.

The world’s largest T20 league was suspended on May 9 due to the Indian-Pakistan military reckoning triggered by the 22 April terrorist attack in expensive. One day after being suspended, a ceasefire was declared between the two countries and paved the way for IPL to restart.

“We talk to foreign boards individually while the teams deal with their players directly with the players. We expect the majority to return,” he told a BCCI official on Tuesday. He said.

CA left players to decide on their participation, and the players association will play on such issues.

Team officials told PTI that some foreign players were worried about returning, but the majority should come back before the tournament continued.

CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan, “The reviewed program was announced last night. We have just started to communicate with our foreign players about their usability. Tomorrow morning we will have a clearer picture. Anyway, our game on May 20. We have enough time.” He said.

CSK’s foreign players include Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad and Matheesha Pathirana.

Stoinis is unlikely to return; Cummins ready to fly back

In Punjab kings, Australian multi -faceted Marcus Stoinis and his citizen Josh Inglis, head coach Ricky Ponting may not return to India, even though he’s doing his best to convince them.

Aussier Xavier Bartlett and Aaron Hardie, as well as Afghanistan Azmatullah Omarzai and South African Marco Jansen is expected to return.

The team will reach the first play-off since 2014.

After the ceasefire announcement last week, Ponting jumped out of a plane attached to the conversation. Brad Haddin and James Hapes, including the team’s support staff, never left India.

Punjab kings and the players of the Delhi capitals were called in the middle of the neighboring border regions, and after Dharamsala made a very worried road and train journey from Dharamsala to Delhi.

“Foreign players were scared at that time and understandable.

“Now the situation is better, the players should go back. But some still stay on the sidelines.” He said.

Like CSK, Sunrisers Hyderabad was eliminated from the competition, but Franchise Captain Pat Cummins and Travis Head are waiting for the rest of the remaining three league matches.

“We are sure that the majority of foreign players will return from the captain,” a team official said.

Delhi Capitals, who convened for a first fourth place, contacted the overseas players on Tuesday morning and is waiting to hear from them. Australia Pacer Mitchell Starc is one of the key players of DC.

A team official, “We hope all of them will come back. Tomorrow we will know more.” He said.

The IPL finals, which were initially planned on May 25, were pushed back to June 3.

The World Test Championship between Australia and South Africa is planned from Lord from 11 June and leaves very little return time for the Australians and South Africans who decided to join IPL play-offs.
