List of players to miss IPL 2020 start after England confirm Australia series in Sep

While the speculations were already there, the limited-overs cricket series between Australia and England confirmed now. The ECB and CA have confirmed a series including 3 ODIS and 3 T20Is between the two sides. The series will conclude on 16th September and only after that play will fly to UAE to participate in the biggest T20 carnival on the planet. The announcement of the series has come as a massive blow to the franchises as they would now miss their vital players in the first week of the IPL 2020.

Which teams will suffer the most due to England & Australia series in IPL 2020?

The series has come like a nightmare for Rajasthan Royals as the core of their team is formed by Australia and English players only. They have players like Steve Smith, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Tom Curran, and Andrew Tye who would miss the early phase of the IPL 2020 due to Australia-England series. With Chris Woakes already pulling out of the competition, 3 more players will miss for Delhi Capitals. They have Jason Roy, Marcus Stonis, and Alex Carey among their ranks who would miss the first week of the tournament. Mumbai Indians is the only team which would not be affected by this series in any means. They only have one Australian player in their squad, Nathan Coulter-Nile. He would still be available for the 4-time champions as the pacer has not been selected in the Australian squad.
