IPL 2022: English players in IPL – On Friday, Kolkata Knight Riders’ Alex Hales became the second England player after Jason Roy to withdraw from the IPL ahead of the 15th edition. Mark Wood is also considering withdrawing from IPL 2022 after complaining about Jofra Archer having an elbow problem. Last year, several English players withdrew, raising the question of what bothers England players? Follow the IPL 2022 live updates on InsideSport.IN.
Although there are several reasons, the franchises are not happy with their attitude and last minute withdrawals.
“It’s very unfortunate and it shouldn’t be considered against the spirit of the game. When someone makes themselves available, franchises make certain plans around them. We can understand if there is an emergency or an injury, but that has not been the case. Certainly there will be reservations against recruiting English players in the future,” a franchise official told InsideSport.

England players pulling out of the IPL citing bubble fatigue issues… having made themselves available knowing full well what they were signing up for… could make IPL teams skeptical of the idea to look in their direction in the future.

What really bothers England players? – Not that the withdrawal of English players is disturbing, but the franchises are already unhappy with the behavior of the players. Although Roy and Hales both cited bio-bubble fatigue, franchises and former players began to raise the question – didn’t they know this before signing up for the auction? While bio-bubble fatigue was a real concern at least last time around, the reason might be different.
- The England players faced heavy criticism after a 0-4 defeat at Ashes with many fingers pointed at IPL.
- To manage the workload due to the exhausting IPL season, many English cricketers are skipping red ball cricket. Moeen Ali recently called it a career time out test for white-ball cricket.
- Growing anti-IPL sentiment at home is forcing England players to rethink their IPL future.
- Lack of monetary gains is also another reason. Players who are picked at a base price do not earn enough money given the exchange rate involved.

Motion against IPL in England – With the Ashes disaster, former captains, including Michael Atherton and others, have made scathing statements about player commitment to national player commitment. They named IPL as one of the main reasons for the poor performance of players in Australia. They believe the focus on white-ball cricket is the reason for England’s poor showing in Test cricket.
“Major multi-format players are paid seven figure sums but unbelievably the ECB washes its hands of it for two months of the year during the Indian Premier League. Players must not miss the international duty of playing in the IPL, nor be rested and rotated to allow them to play elsewhere.The postponement over the winter, and into the early English summer, is unlikely to happen again. former England captain Michael Atherton wrote in his column.

Focus on domestic cricket – Amidst a negative motion against IPL in England, England players decided to focus more on domestic cricket, mainly county cricket to win big ECB contracts.
Monetary gains – While playing IPL on County or for England might make sense for players like Liam Livingstone, it doesn’t make sense for players who are sold at a low base price. Jason Roy and Alex Hales were sold for Rs 1.5 Cr each (about 150,000 pounds). Jason Roy earns Rs 9.2 Cr from ECB central contract alone excluding match fee and county and cent agreements.
“It’s an argument, but that’s the way it is. One wins 10 times his central contract while some are paid less. Who thought David Warner would be chosen for 6.25 Cr? This is how auction dynamics work. This shouldn’t be the cause of their withdrawal because with IPL’s performance they can win big contracts in the future,” said another franchise official with an England player.

Injury protection – Ben Stokes missed the summer and Indian home series after injuring his finger in the opener IPL match. To protect themselves from high intensity cricket at IPL which can cause injury, players are thinking about the future of IPL. Mark Wood may end up retiring if he is not 100% fit.
Too many franchise leagues: Prior to IPL, Jason Roy and Alex Hales competed in a short Pakistani Super League. But as the IPL is played just before the English summer, the players choose to rest, skipping the IPL by two months.
