MUMBAI: It is not certain if England's white-ball players, who are set to feature in the upcoming T20 World Cup in the USA & West Indies in June, will not be available for the IPL playoffs, as negotiations are on between the BCCI and the ECB to secure their availability at a crucial time of the league, TOI has learnt.
A few days back, the England team's managing director Rob Key had revealed that their white-ball captain Jos Buttler had pushed for withdrawal of English players from the Indian Premier League play-offs ahead of the T20 World Cup. The IPL play-offs are scheduled to be held from May 21 - May 26, clashing directly with England's four-match T20I series against Pakistan.
