❓ IPL 2025: Where Are All the England Players? A Shift in Demand or a Shift in Priorities? ????


From 18 to just 10. That’s the number of England players in the IPL 2025 season — a significant drop from previous years. So, what’s going on?

Is it a lack of form, franchise disinterest, or a shift in priorities by the England Cricket Board (ECB)? Let’s break it down. ????


???????? England Players in IPL 2025

Only 10 English cricketers feature this season:

  • ???? Moeen Ali

  • ???? Sam Curran

  • ???? Jos Buttler

  • ???? Liam Livingstone

  • ???? Jofra Archer

  • ???? Phil Salt

  • ???? Will Jacks

  • ???? Reece Topley

  • ???? Jamie Overton

  • ???? Jacob Bethell


❌ Notable Withdrawals:

  • Harry Brook (personal reasons)

  • Brydon Carse (injury)

  • Ben Duckett declined an offer from Delhi Capitals


???? Expert Opinions – Why This Shift?


????️ Rob Key (ECB):

  • Encouraging players to focus on England commitments

  • Packed schedule: Test series vs India, Ashes, and more


????️ Nick Knight:

“Players like Brook and Wood are managed carefully. Many don’t feel the need to play in every league anymore.”


???? Matt Roller (ESPNcricinfo):

  • England’s recent white-ball failures have lowered their market value in the IPL

  • Performance in ICC events no longer backs high price tags


???? Is Their T20 Stock Falling?

  • ???? Back in 2022, England were T20 World Cup winners

  • ???? Players like Sam Curran went for mega bids

  • But post-2023, flat performances have dented their demand


⚔️ The IPL Conundrum – Chicken or Egg?

Did England players become better by playing IPL, or were they already great and thus picked?

???? Ambati Rayudu weighs in:

  • “They improved vs spin by playing here. But now, they look one-dimensional again, especially in the middle overs.”

???? Catch-22: To improve in Indian conditions, they must play in India — but without recent success, they're not picked.
