Due to the India-Pakistan conflict, the IPL will be restarted on Saturday and clash with the new date with international commitments from several players.
England’s Jamie Overton (Chinnay Super King) and Australian batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk (Delhi Capital) decided to miss the late stages of the match, which will end on June 3.
“Temporary replacement players will be allowed before the end of this match, given the unavailability of certain foreign players due to state commitments, personal reasons or any injury or illness.”
“This decision is subject to temporary alternative participants moving forward from this point and will not qualify for the following year’s retention.
“Temporary Replacement players will have to register for the IPL Player Auction 2026.”Overton, a bowling all-rounder, is part of the England white-ball team that will face the West Indies at home starting with a three-match ODI series on May 29.Fraser-McGurk has pulled out due to “personal reasons” and Delhi have signed Bangladesh left-arm seamer Mustafizur Rahman in his place.
