Australian cricketers are in high demand in the IPL. Yet, a few players may not get a game in IPL 2025. Here, we take a look at the list of two Australian cricketers who might not play a single game in IPL 2025.
1) Aaron Hardie
The Australian all-rounder will be a part of Punjab Kings for IPL 2025. Along with Marcus Stoinis, he will be an all-round option for Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting. Stoinis is in good form and there is very little chance that he could be benched.
At the same time, Marco Jansen will also not be dropped. Hence, Hardie’s only chance will be to replace Josh Inglis at the top of the order. Here, PBKS might give preference to Priyansh Arya as he comes at a top price to the franchise. Therefore, he is on the list.
2) Xavier Bartlett is one of the Australian cricketers who may not get a game in IPL 2025
Xavier Bartlett is one of the Australian cricketers who might not play a single game in IPL 2025. It could be a bit hard for the pacer to make his presence felt in the PBKS squad.
Marco Jansen and Lockie Ferguson are available as the overseas pace options. Therefore, the Aussie could struggle to get a chance. Unless someone’s injured, Xavier may be benched in IPL 2025. Hence, he is on this list.
