IPL 2025 New Replacement Rules: IPL 2025 was suspended for a week due to tension between India and Pakistan. Now finally the tournament is going to start again from May 17, before which there is turmoil in all the teams. Actually when IPL 2025 was suspended for a week, most of the foreign players had returned to their respective countries. Looking at the international cricket schedule, some players will come back to India to play IPL and some will not. In such a situation, some new rules of replacement have been made in the tournament.
New rule of replacement in IPL 2025
Many players will be unavailable after the resumption of IPL 2025. There will be some players who will be able to play in the league stage matches but will miss the playoffs. In such a situation, the new rule says that the players who were brought in as replacements in the middle of the season cannot be retained by the team for the next season.
At the same time, the replacements approved by the BCCI before the suspension of IPL 2025 can be retained for the next season. This clearly means that the players who will come as replacements after the suspension will have to knock the door of the auction next season.
Who will come back and who will not?
The IPL 2025 tournament will resume from May 17. Before that, the biggest question is which foreign players will return to India and which will not? Jos Buttler may miss the playoff matches due to the series against the West Indies, while his Gujarat Titans teammate Kagiso Rabada may be out of the remaining matches due to the WTC final. At the same time,
Josh Hazlewood’s presence is under question in view of the World Test Championship, but it is being speculated that Pat Cummins and Travis Head may play the remaining matches of IPL 2025.
Big names like Marco Jansen, Will Jacks and Mitchell Starc are also in doubt. Aidan Markram, one of the main players of Lucknow Super Giants, may also be unavailable for other matches.
