he upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023, will see almost full participation of overseas players over the course of the tournament. With the competition receiving a dedicated window in the ICC’s Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2023-27, there are negligible international matches clashing, leading to the unobstructed availability of players.
The Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) has already informed all 10 franchises over the availability of overseas players. A report by Cricbuzz states that Sri Lanka and Bangladesh players will not be available for the entirety of the tournament.
A major aspect of the mail involves Sri Lankan players, who are set to miss the initial matches of the tournament. They are slated to join franchise camps on April 8, with the competition slated to begin on either March 31 or April 1.
Bangladesh players will be available to play in the IPL from April 8 to May 1, following which the players involved in the bilateral series against Ireland will depart. The side will tour Bangladesh to compete in three ODIs and four T20Is in May 2022.
Players from other nations like the West Indies, New Zealand, and South Africa should be able to play over the course of the tournament without any major hiccups.
