Big blow to these 5 teams including Rajasthan, these foreign players will leave IPL and return home to prepare for T20 World Cup

Those who have performed well in IPL 2024 can leave the tournament midway against many countries and return home to prepare for the T20 World Cup. First of all, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has issued an order to the members of England's T20 World Cup 2024 team to return home before the IPL playoffs. There are speculations that some other countries may also call back their players before the playoffs to prepare for the T20 World Cup. This announcement by England has dealt a big blow to five teams including Rajasthan Royals, because seven players including Jos Buttler will return before the playoffs.

Before the T20 World Cup in 2024, the England team must actually play a four-match T20 series against Pakistan starting on May 22. Jos Buttler of the Rajasthan Royals, Phil Salt of KKR, Moeen Ali of CSK, Will Jacques of RCB, Sam Curran of the Punjab Kings, Liam Livingstone, and Jonny Bairstow of Jonny Bairstow will have to leave the IPL midway and head home due to the ECB's decision.

Rob Key, the managing director of the England team, recently informed the players chosen for the T20 World Cup 2024 squad about their selection. Additionally, he informed the participating players that they would not be available for the IPL knockout stages. The postseason will take place on May 21–26. According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, all these players will return to England by 18-19 May.

Rob said that Jos Buttler, who scored two centuries for Rajasthan Royals, had already decided to return home before the end of the IPL. He said that I had asked him in the beginning itself and said that as the captain of England, you will have to play the series against Pakistan. What did you think about it? To this Buttler's reply was that I want to come back and start preparing for the World Cup during that series.
