According to a report in Cricbuzz, the availability and exact duration of participation of the 220 overseas players for IPL 2022 are still not known.

“In an ideal scenario, we would have preferred to know the availability with the auction list, It helps in planning but there were occasions we were given this crucial the night before the auction.” a franchise official told Cricbuzz after the BCCI communicated to the teams on the final list of players.

“The IPL 2022 Player Auction Rules and the availability details of Overseas players along with the update on the players who have been reported or banned for suspect bowling action will be sent in due course,” the BCCI has told the teams.

Earlier, Cricbuzz had reported that the England players could be pulled back in the last week of May, for the team’s preparation for the three-Test series against New Zealand and Australian players could also miss IPL 2022 if they are picked for the upcoming Pakistan tour.
