BCCI to ban Sri Lanka and Bangladesh players from IPL

Published

on

The 16th edition of the IPL begins on Friday, March 31, with defending champions Gujarat Titans taking on four-time winners Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Before the start of the season, several players have been sidelined due to injuries, and several have been denied NOCs by their countries to compete in the tournament for its full duration.

Several players will miss the first game for their franchise as they are busy with their international tournaments. However, in the latest summit, the BCCI is reportedly unhappy with the Bangladesh Cricket Board and Sri Lanka Cricket for not releasing their players in time to be with their franchises and is even considering banning players from these countries for the IPL 2024 auctions.

Here is the list of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh players who will miss some matches.
