IPL 2023 Update: BCCI will ban Sri Lanka and Bangladesh cricket players for their negligence towards attending IPL 2023. Three players from Sri Lanka and four players from Bangladesh will not be attending all the matches of IPL 2023 for their franchises.

IPL 2023 is about to begin on 31 March and it seems that players from some countries are not serious about the rules and regulations. This is the first time that several players have denied attending all the matches of an IPL session. BCCI will ban Sri Lanka and Bangladesh from participating in further auctions of IPL.

BCCI Will Ban Sri Lanka and Bangladesh

BCCI will ban Sri Lanka and Bangladesh: Sri Lanka and Bangladesh players are currently busy playing matches for their national teams against New Zealand. Four Sri Lankan players will not be able to attend the IPL 2023 until one week after the inaugural match on March 31. The list below shows the Sri Lankan players that will not attend the IPL 2023 session until they complete their series with New Zealand on April 08:

Wanindu Hasaranga (Royal Challengers Bangalore)
Matheesha Pathirana (Chennai Super Kings)
Bhanuka Rajapaksa (Punjab Kings)

Sri Lankan Players that will partially attend IPL 2023

Meanwhile, three Bangladesh players Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das, and Mushfiqur Rahim will only be available from April 9 to May 5 and then after May 15 onwards. BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon also stated that the Bangladesh players will only be able to partially attend the IPL 2023 as they will serve national duties in between.

However, BCCI will ban Sri Lanka and Bangladesh seems to rest for now as Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) informed that “We have the players with no objection certificates to go for IPL after New Zealand series completion and the BCCI has accepted it.”

SCL officials further informed that the BCCI didn’t express any sort of displeasure regarding the unavailability of the players. However, BCCI has indirectly warned other Cricket Boards by saying:

“Franchises would be skeptical about picking players from certain countries if they are here to play the tournament partly” in one of their statements“.
