3 Englishmen who may not enter IPL 2025 Auctions if there is a ban on players for withdrawal

Foreign players withdraw from IPL due to various reasons. It could be due to injury or any personal reasons. This will disappoint a franchise because they would have planned and picked him. If a cricketer is ruled out due to a non-injury cause, a rule could come to ban him. Here, we take a look at the list of three Englishmen who may not enter IPL 2025 Auctions if there is a ban on players for withdrawal.

1) Mark Wood

Mark Wood is a fragile player and is very prone to injuries. He has to pick and choose tournaments. Therefore, with the Ashes and some important tournaments coming up, he might not play in IPL 2025.

It would be a better idea than getting picked and then pulling himself out. Also, in a Mini Auction, he could get more bids. Therefore, he is on this list.
