IPL 2021: England players set to get green-light as Bangladesh series postponed, says Reports

It is understood that England’s IPL stars are going to travel on the same charter flight from Manchester to Dubai for their bubble to bubble transfer.

The England players are all set to be allowed to take part in the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 after the postponement of their short white ball away series against Bangladesh scheduled in September. It is learnt that the series is now likely to be played early next year and this gives the English players like Jos Buttler, fit-again Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, Eoin Morgan, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Curran to represent their various IPL franchises. The IPL resumes in the UAE on September 19. “Yes, we were in talks with ECB about the availability of their players for the IPL. We haven't yet got the official confirmation with regards to that but we have an idea that chances are really bright,” a senior BCCI official told news agency PTI on conditions of anonymity. In fact, a report in UK newspaper ‘Telegraph’ reported: “England has been due to tour Bangladesh for three ODI and three T20 Internationals, which would have clashed with the IPL and entailed leaving England a matter of days after the end of the Test series with India on September 14.”
