IPL 2021 has been facing a different scenario so far as the tournament was suspended midway in April and the resumption is set to take place in a few day’s time. With the T20 Worldcup set to take place in UAE straightway after the IPL gets over, the players have been looking at the tight schedule and have opted out of the cash-rich league.

It is a big setback for the franchises when any player pulls of the tournament at the last minute and their plans could be shattered, however, their replacements aren’t bad either. It presents an opportunity to the players waiting in the wings for a long time and here is the complete list of players who pulled out of the 2nd leg of IPL 2021 in UAE.
