The IPL announced that the 2024 tournament is anticipated to take place from March 22 to the end of May. However, the final schedule hinges on the Election Commission’s determination of India’s general election dates. The IPL auction is set to occur on the eve of the tournament. The complete schedule will be disclosed once the Election Commission finalizes the election dates. The provisional IPL dates offer a window for the cricketing extravaganza, awaiting confirmation post-election schedule clarity. Fans eagerly anticipate the official announcement of the IPL 2024 schedule, pending the Election Commission’s decision.

Australia: Hazlewood’s unavailability in March and April

Josh Hazlewood, carrying a base price of INR 2 crore, will join the IPL fray only in early May. His absence stems from an eagerly anticipated family expansion, as he and his wife prepare to welcome their first child. His fellow Australians in the player auction, however, should be present for the full IPL season.

England: Rehan withdraws, England players available subject to fitness

The promising young all-rounder Rehan Ahmed will not be entering the auction. The England and Wales Cricket Board worries that extended time away from home could be difficult for one so young. Still, top England talents like Harry Brook, Phil Salt, Chris Woakes, and Adil Rashid remain available – fitness and international play permitting.

Sri Lanka: Key white-ball players available

Sri Lanka has released its top limited overs cricketers, such as Theekshana, Pathirana, Hasaranga and Chameera, to participate in the 2024 IPL season. Though, these players will not join Sri Lanka’s Test team facing Bangladesh until April 3rd.

Bangladesh: Taskin and Shoriful unavailable, Mustafizur’s availability

Fast bowlers Taskin and Shoriful will miss the 2024 IPL season, likely playing for Bangladesh against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe at home in March and April. However, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has permitted Mustafizur to play in the IPL if purchased at auction.

Ireland: Josh Little’s availability confirmed

Left-arm Irish fast bowler Josh Little will play the full 2024 IPL season with the Gujarat Titans, missing Ireland’s Test match versus Bangladesh and T20I series against Pakistan, Netherlands and Scotland.
