As the contract is completely based on the agreement of a franchise and a player, the issue needs to be resolved by the franchise itself. IPL 2026 was among the rare seasons where multiple overseas players pulled themselves out from franchises without any prior notice.

Players like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Matheesha Pathirana joined their respective franchises because of niggles. Delhi Capitals were among the worst-hit franchises in the 2026 season, as they missed the service of their premier pacer Mitchell Starc throughout the first half of the competition, as he was unavailable to take the field.

“The team is the custodians of the players. We leave it to them and their understanding of the players. Some players decide the league over national duty, and some vice versa. Our rules are clear unless there is an injury (the two-year ban),” a BCCI source told news agency PTI.
