NEW DELHI: According to rumors on Friday, England’s former white-ball captain Jos Buttler will depart before the playoffs, while Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc would not return to the Indian Premier League after it was disrupted.
The world’s most lucrative cricket competition was halted last week due to a brief but fatal confrontation between India and Pakistan, two neighbors with nuclear weapons.
Due to scheduling conflicts with foreign teams like Australia, England, and South Africa, the competition will resume on Saturday but will lose a number of its best players for the final rounds.
Around 70 individuals, including dozens of civilians, were killed in four days of drone, missile, and artillery engagements on both sides of the border starting on May 7.
