The BCCI has allowed IPL franchises to bring in temporary replacements for the remainder of the 2025 season. The change has come about because players like Jofra Archer, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Craig Overton, and Sam Curran decided that they wouldn’t return to India. These replacements can’t be retained for the next season.
Foreign players to leave before Playoffs
Many players from South Africa, England, Australia, and the West Indies will likely leave IPL 2025 before the playoffs. English players like Jos Buttler, Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, and Phil Salt have been asked to return by May 27. Tristan Stubbs and Kagiso Rabada have been told to return by May 26.
Mitchell Owen skips PSL for IPL
Australian batter Mitchell Owen has opted to feature in the IPL over the PSL. Representing the Peshawar Zalmi, Owen had played 8 matches for the team. However, after tensions between India and Pakistan flared up, he returned home. Owen was to join the Punjab Kings after completing his PSL stint, but he’s decided he won’t partake in the league any further and instead join the IPL.
