It is really sad that the current pandemic situation has taken a toll on the mental aspect of the players and to pull out of a big tournament like IPL may not be the right solution. The franchises would have planned a certain role for the player and it is not going to be easy for them to recruit a new player and assign the same role.
It has been a big surprise because the players have pulled out at the last moment which is not ideal and they must make it clear during the auction of their availability.
There have been a lot of players waiting to get into IPL action and it is one of the best leagues in the world. There is a lot to learn for the players and here is the list of players who pulled out of IPL 2021 due to bio bubble fatigue.
List Of Players Who Pulled Out Of IPL 2021:
Josh Hazlewood:

The Australian speedster Josh Hazlewood pulled out of the IPL 2021 from representing the Chennai Super Kings and the reason behind the move was the bio bubble fatigue. The tall fast bowler would have been very handy for the CSK this year considering that they play most of the games in Mumbai.
His replacement was announced and it was country mate Jason Beherendoff who was played in the IPL already. Hazlewood hasn’t had much success in IPL and he has a lot of pedigree to do well and in the three games he has played in the IPL, he has gone for just 6.40 runs an over. He hits the line and lengths to perfection and can hit the 140kmph mark at times.
Mitchell Marsh:

Mitchell Marsh was another name that had pulled out of the IPL 2021 considering the amount of fatigue in the bio bubble. The Australian all-rounder was expected to play an important part in this IPL for the Sunrisers Hyderabad but he withdrew and Sunrisers haven’t yet found a better solution for him.
So far, he has played for various franchises in the IPL scoring 225 runs in 21 games and has also picked up 20 wickets in his career. He played only one game in the last season and had to miss the entire remaining tournament due to injury which has been a major concern for him. Jason Roy has been named as his replacement by the Sunrisers.
Josh Phillipe:

The Australian wicket-keeper batsman Josh Phillipe pulled out of IPL 2021 and he had impressed a lot in the previous edition of IPL for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Phillipe had an excellent season in the Big Bash Recently and was expected to show some fireworks in the ongoing edition.
However, he opted out before the start of the IPL and was replaced by New Zealand wicket-keeper batsman Finn Allen. The 23-year-old had scored 78 runs in five games in the last IPL and he had a lot to offer in the ongoing edition unless he pulled out.
Mark Wood:

The England quick Mark Wood was really impressive in the limited-overs series against India and he opted out of the 2021 IPL just on the auction day morning at the last moment. The right-arm fast bowler was expected to go for big bucks in the ongoing edition after his recent performances.
He had to take a look at his hectic schedule and mentioned that he will have to spend some time with his family to get his international form going on. Wood was part of the Chennai Super Kings in the past but did not have much success and he will be one of those players to watch out for in the next auction.
Liam Livingstone:

Liam Livingstone was the latest to leave the franchise suddenly due to the bio bubble fatigue. Livingstone was part of the Rajasthan Royals franchise in the ongoing edition and he was waiting in the wings for the first three IPL games. The all-rounder was expected to make the playing eleven soon after his recent T20 performances.
Livingstone’s withdrawal is a major worry for the Royals who have already lost the services of the injured Ben Stokes and they will need to pick up a new replacement who can play the same role. He can bowl some useful spin and bat anywhere in the lineup with his striking abilities.
