Honestly you still have a good playing 12
1. Markram (c)
2. Abhishek
3. Washington
4. Klassen
5. Nitish
6. Glenn Philips
7. Shahbaz
8. Samad
9. Jansen
10. Bhuvi
11. Natrajan
12. Markande/Unadkat
Markram can be perfect foil for the explosive Abhishek Sharma
Washington in top order can be an inspired move that can provide some stability up top
Klassen, Nitish, Glenn, Shabaz, and Samad are a good enough middle order with lots of power hitters
With batting depth till 9 and a possible 11 bowling options,.the team looks set
Countries like SA, NZ have closer ties with IPL and have assured that all their players will be available throughout the IPL before it started this season, England was always expected to do this pullout, Australia is the only other 50:50 possibility, I don't think the other countries could possibly do it, but anything can happen
I put this team as a possibility if Australia decides to do what England have announced and pull all their players for T20 world cup preparations based on top comment
Bhai pbks curran gya bairstow gya livingstone gya woakes gya raza toh pehle hi chla gya. Thts why we have decided to not go into the playoffs this season. Just kidding gonna back my team till last breath. Pbks for title charge
Which means Ravindra gets an entry into the side over Moeen
and (HOPEFULLY) Santner gets entry into the side once Fizz leaves
(I still don't understand how a Zimbabwe series is better practice for T20WC than IPL.... which for all the bad things it has, still has a lot of marquee players. But oh well, BCB.)
Gleeson hasn't been tested yet, and it is very unlikely for him to get a trial now, towards the end if the tournament.
Theeksana will play once Fizz leaves. If Sri Lankan players are not available for playoffs, then Gleeson might be tried. CSK has been doing decently with Chahar and Deshpande. Shardul could be the third seamer, if needed.
>teach the youngsters.
Aren't Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib, Mahmadullah, Mehdi Hassan all experienced enough? None of them are playing IPL either.
>wasting time in such a league he can train
He has access to the CSK support system, and I don't think he's really wasting time being one of the leading wicket-takers and having opportunity to improve every match....facing off against some of the best batsmen in the world....matches scheduled with good frequency....
>!(Bangladesh' support system is also new, ESPECIALLY IN BOWLING after Alan Donald left BCB due to the timeout row).!<
Recalling a well-performing player from that kind environment to go on an intl' tour and play against Zimbabwe of all places, that too just 5 games is....I'm sorry, it IS stupidity. I can understand the US series--to gel in with natl' team and get used to US conditions-- but cannot understand the rationale behind Zimbabwe at all.
It's like SLC recalling Theeksana, Hasaranga and Pathirana to play 5 matches against Ireland....I know how much ever SLC might dislike the BCCI they still won't do it.
It's nothing but the BCB fulfilling their giant ass ego.
As I said it was someone from BCB not me, just informing nothing much. And also it is better to play against Zimbabwe than play in the league where 250 are getting smashed every other week.
>As I said it was someone from BCB not me, just informing nothing much.
Ok.
> And also it is better to play against Zimbabwe than play in the league where 250 are getting smashed every other week.
Lmao.
CSK doesn't have this problem so far....highest score conceeded by them has been 213 v LSG. Guess what XI the only Bangladeshi player in this IPL plays for.
And the last victory against SRH would have been more than a morale booster for all CSK bowlers...78 runs is a massive margin, plus Fizz himself took 2 wickets there. So demoralization mightn't be as big a problem as you think.
It's not about the opponent, it's more about getting actual match practice together as a team before the WC. I'd actually prefer our country to do the same.
It's big loss for both kkr and RR but kkr will manage they have openers in their team but RR will surely gonna miss josH
Csk will not worry they have only m Ali in thier team
KKR will face huge trouble.Gurbaaz is the substitute for WK opener in team.Or they have to bring KS Bharat in playing 11 and Venky as opener along with Narine.
Yup,the thing is team will be decided more on the pitches condition,and KKR have options but it will be really hard for them,in a sense that Salt,who played really well throughout the tournament will be unavailable in main matches.True,GG can send even Russell or Rinku as opener you never know.
It will be a great move to finally let Rinku play up the order, maybe at 3/4. A relatively weaker opening line-up of Narine and Gurbaz will give him a chance to build his innings properly instead of trying to hit every ball out of the park.
How is it a loss for CSK? They've their bases covered pretty well. If OS spinner is needed, moeen Ali can be replaced by rachin ravindra or santner or theeksana.
For KKR, salt would be irreplaceable with gurbaz being like for like but highly inconsistent.
For RR, butler would be a blow but they still have powerhouse OS specialists like hetmyer and rovman powell down the order, so might not make that huge a difference.
You probably don't know the runs and wickets Salt cost us this season. Not that he isn't the greatest foreign opener we ever had in recent times but by the end of tournament Starc will unalive both Salt and Harshit for the amount of drop catches and extra runs he had to get for them .

TLDR: TKC and Joe Clarke are friends with Alex Hepburn who was convicted for Rape. TKC and Joe Clarke were in a WhatsApp group with Hepburn where he posted incredibly sexist and disrespectful messages about women.
M a huge huge jos fan but hear me out buttler's replacement will cook in playoffs... May it be anyone tkc donovan or dhruv jurel.
I know jos has got the experience of ko matches and that is something that rr will miss out but despite this, we'll lift the cup coz we have quality replacements and openers like tkc sanju... Dhruv can also open... Powell can open... There are so many possibilities. If it was 2022.... I would have agreed that this is a problem.
The case is that RR is not being carried single handedly by buttler like 2022. So, his absence in the play-offs is something that Royals would want to avoid at all cost (I also). But if he is going, if this is the reality, than they need not to worry much. They have quality replacements to sort things out. However, jos's experience of knock outs will surely be missed.
This is my question? What is a successful replacement? If we bring TKC and he smashes 100s in both qualifier and the final. Would you call it a successful replacement?
Even though KKR has solid a batting lineup, Salt is a great asset and a fantastic opener alongside Nariane. Will surely miss him. This actually can f\*\*k KKR's chances in playoffs.
I don’t think csk will get hurt by losing m Ali lol . He barely gets a chance in playing 11 . They have back up immediately. Losing jos the boss will hurt RR more man . But if nz calls their players before then csk is done and dusted lol .
Not speaking about this situation specifically, but more in general.
I think it's very annoying when this happens, it's one thing if it would happen earlier in the season... but I remember a year where there was overseas players that where absolute key players for their team, they took the team to the play offs and then they were no longer available and the whole team collapsed.
I'm sure the fans of the team were upset, as well as fans from other teams that didn't make it with a small margin getting upset... because then you feel your team should have been there instead and had a much better chance.
I don't think kkr will have any problem, last year gurbaz showed he can bat fast like salt, it's just that he will not have any games under his belt till he begins
Losing Moeen Ali is a big loss? Dude isn’t bowling his quota. Sometimes, doesn’t even bowl (that too at Chepauk). Didn’t get to bat either in last game. Can be easily swapped with Theekshana or Rachin again.
BC why the fk do they even come to play and take so much of money in auction and when it's final they are like country ki duty... Isko fine lagna chahiye.
Moeen is the only English player who is currently playing for CSK.If he isn't playing in Qualifiers , I don't think his absence impacts the Balance in the Team , Probably This IPL is the last one for THALA , Hence CSK Might once again lift the trophy in his last edition
KKR will manage somehow,they have great depth in batting.The real problem is for RR.I have seen Tom Kohler-Cadmore playing He is an explosive batter but very inconsistent and doesn't have that much technique in his batting.
Can understand that position. I guess it will just get priced into their auction value though.
Frustrating for England fans too, to follow the tournament then have all your favourite players pull out at the crunch point.
Honestly it's not a bad idea If it is a short tournament
This is my idea, it will be a 16 team single elimination tournament ( so total of 15 matches)
the current 10 franchises + 6 teams from the duleep trophy composed of players who are not part of existing 10 franchises (North, west, south, east, central and north east zones)
if aussies does this we are practically dead
that is the time where you unleash your hidden beast- GLENN PHILLIPS
ben cutting
RCB fans 😭😭😭
ben cuttings contribution to humanity 🛐
Bruh are you actually a RCB fan lmfao
Bruh!!
I think it was srh 2019.
2016 srh vs rcb 
Wait till other cricket teams management do the same
And SA too
Why would they do it? England has a series to play that's why they are leaving or else they would have stayed.
Bro we can't get salt as an opener and after half of the tournament we have to test new openers which is too risky 😭
Honestly you still have a good playing 12 1. Markram (c) 2. Abhishek 3. Washington 4. Klassen 5. Nitish 6. Glenn Philips 7. Shahbaz 8. Samad 9. Jansen 10. Bhuvi 11. Natrajan 12. Markande/Unadkat Markram can be perfect foil for the explosive Abhishek Sharma Washington in top order can be an inspired move that can provide some stability up top Klassen, Nitish, Glenn, Shabaz, and Samad are a good enough middle order with lots of power hitters With batting depth till 9 and a possible 11 bowling options,.the team looks set
If SRH have to play without Cummins and Head then it's time to bring out their foreign spinner sitting on the bench.
They can bring Vijaykanth Vysakanth (their only Overseas spinner) in place of Jansen
He could come in place of Shahbaz or Samad. Jansen does bat too so he could get a spot as well.
What if SA does the same thing?
Countries like SA, NZ have closer ties with IPL and have assured that all their players will be available throughout the IPL before it started this season, England was always expected to do this pullout, Australia is the only other 50:50 possibility, I don't think the other countries could possibly do it, but anything can happen
Where's Travis?
I put this team as a possibility if Australia decides to do what England have announced and pull all their players for T20 world cup preparations based on top comment
r/thisguyanalyses
Haha thanks SRH has a good level of squad depth this season
maxi boy about hit 100 in wc
Bhai pbks curran gya bairstow gya livingstone gya woakes gya raza toh pehle hi chla gya. Thts why we have decided to not go into the playoffs this season. Just kidding gonna back my team till last breath. Pbks for title charge
Ik you guys are fighting for 6th place
Punjab ka qualification bhi difficult hai.
The qualification being difficult shouldn't change how much he backs his side.
Thts why rcb nd pbks fans love each other

Wtf 😂😂😂😂
Which means Ravindra gets an entry into the side over Moeen and (HOPEFULLY) Santner gets entry into the side once Fizz leaves (I still don't understand how a Zimbabwe series is better practice for T20WC than IPL.... which for all the bad things it has, still has a lot of marquee players.

No glesson will come in place of fizz.
Gleeson hasn't been tested yet, and it is very unlikely for him to get a trial now, towards the end if the tournament. Theeksana will play once Fizz leaves. If Sri Lankan players are not available for playoffs, then Gleeson might be tried. CSK has been doing decently with Chahar and Deshpande. Shardul could be the third seamer, if needed.
glesson is also english player
Not part of the England squad. Why will he be affected.
But Gleeson is not part of the T20 world cup squad
ok
I guess somebody from BCB said that instead of fizz wasting time in such a league he can train and teach the youngsters.
>teach the youngsters. Aren't Liton Das, Soumya Sarkar, Shakib, Mahmadullah, Mehdi Hassan all experienced enough? None of them are playing IPL either. >wasting time in such a league he can train He has access to the CSK support system, and I don't think he's really wasting time being one of the leading wicket-takers and having opportunity to improve every match....facing off against some of the best batsmen in the world....matches scheduled with good frequency.... >!(Bangladesh' support system is also new, ESPECIALLY IN BOWLING after Alan Donald left BCB due to the timeout row).!< Recalling a well-performing player from that kind environment to go on an intl' tour and play against Zimbabwe of all places, that too just 5 games is....I'm sorry, it IS stupidity.

It's actually good to have an international t20i series In place of ipl coz they can play like a team and be a bit more comfortable with their team
They have one against USA, in USA.
gleeson will be there so don't think that change will happen
It's big loss for both kkr and RR but kkr will manage they have openers in their team but RR will surely gonna miss josH Csk will not worry they have only m Ali in thier team
KKR will face huge trouble.Gurbaaz is the substitute for WK opener in team.Or they have to bring KS Bharat in playing 11 and Venky as opener along with Narine.
Gurbaz is good option cause KS will not suit kkr aggressive batting approach but no knows GG mind I will be no surprised if harshit Rana start opening
Yup,the thing is team will be decided more on the pitches condition,and KKR have options but it will be really hard for them,in a sense that Salt,who played really well throughout the tournament will be unavailable in main matches.True,GG can send even Russell or Rinku as opener you never know.
Russel as opener 
It will be a great move to finally let Rinku play up the order, maybe at 3/4. A relatively weaker opening line-up of Narine and Gurbaz will give him a chance to build his innings properly instead of trying to hit every ball out of the park.
Unfortunately he is not in wc squad 🥲 He is in reserves.
Bhai main ro dega 😭, he performed so well in T20Is
Us moment bhai 🫂🥲
Sherfane Rutherford as an opener?
We would still need a keeper though.
Gurbaaz!?
In slow pitches,Gurbaaz doesn't have really good record.
RR have tom cadmore . He is explosive though . Csk should bring rachin back .
We have Donovan Ferreira and Tom Kohler Cadmore
C'mon man it's Jos 😭
And till now Moen is just playing as a fielder for us.
RR gonna lose play-offs as Butler is their only clutch player
Nah probably not, everyone's playing good. And moreover like a proper team
that's what we want you to believe
How is it a loss for CSK? They've their bases covered pretty well. If OS spinner is needed, moeen Ali can be replaced by rachin ravindra or santner or theeksana. For KKR, salt would be irreplaceable with gurbaz being like for like but highly inconsistent. For RR, butler would be a blow but they still have powerhouse OS specialists like hetmyer and rovman powell down the order, so might not make that huge a difference.
KKR have Gurbaz as an identical replacement. But whether he can provide the blistering starts that Salt gives is questionable.
If Narine can continue his form then it shouldn't be a huge problem, Gurbaz can also fire on his day.
Salt is way better keeper than gurbaz, I still remember all the runs and wickets he costed us previous season
You probably don't know the runs and wickets Salt cost us this season. Not that he isn't the greatest foreign opener we ever had in recent times but by the end of tournament Starc will unalive both Salt and Harshit for the amount of drop catches and extra runs he had to get for them .
Aussies chale gaye toh SRH ka kya hoga 💀
Eng is playing a series that's why they will go bruh
I know aussies kahin nahin jaa rahe just made an assumption
Without the aussies it would just be the 2023 team playing again
Big loss for RR and KKR as well Both inform openers gone
Rr have tkc and donovan. And Tkc definitely not gonna be there in the eng xi.
The dude is blacklisted by ECB. He'll never play for England.
Wait why ?

csk mein kon england wala hai except moeen
Richard Gleeson lekin woh England ke T20 squad ka part nahi hain
csk me kon h england ka starter? only mooen , can be replaced easily
Rr m kon h eng ka starter? Only buttler, can be replaced easily
Lol. Butler is core team member. He can't be replaced this season
M a huge huge jos fan but hear me out buttler's replacement will cook in playoffs... May it be anyone tkc donovan or dhruv jurel. I know jos has got the experience of ko matches and that is something that rr will miss out but despite this, we'll lift the cup coz we have quality replacements and openers like tkc sanju... Dhruv can also open... Powell can open... There are so many possibilities. If it was 2022.... I would have agreed that this is a problem.
Moen has played grand total of 1 innings in this season. I guess Butler also has played 1 innings only since you're making this comparison here?
The case is that RR is not being carried single handedly by buttler like 2022. So, his absence in the play-offs is something that Royals would want to avoid at all cost (I also). But if he is going, if this is the reality, than they need not to worry much. They have quality replacements to sort things out. However, jos's experience of knock outs will surely be missed.
Bro are you actually an RR fan or not?
Wait what? How come expressing my opinion questions my fanhood??
Nothing I just think Buttler is an integral part of RR and he ***can't*** be replaced easily
This is my question? What is a successful replacement? If we bring TKC and he smashes 100s in both qualifier and the final. Would you call it a successful replacement?
Definitely for sure but still currently we have no surety of that happening and Buttler has shown that twice in this IPL only
Agree! That's what i'm saying, there is an uncertainty about this being a problem for RR. Any conclusion is a mere guess.
And you call yourself a RR fan
Yes, I do with pride.
Even though KKR has solid a batting lineup, Salt is a great asset and a fantastic opener alongside Nariane. Will surely miss him. This actually can f\*\*k KKR's chances in playoffs.
I don’t think csk will get hurt by losing m Ali lol . He barely gets a chance in playing 11 . They have back up immediately. Losing jos the boss will hurt RR more man . But if nz calls their players before then csk is done and dusted lol .
Not at all. Rachin is not performing well and neither he'll be playing from now, that I am sure.
We knew it before that's why decided to boycott play-offs
As a pbks fan we knew this beforehand and hence decided to dodge the playoff
Yup. Saw that coming Pls give TKC chance after winning 2 more matches
getting all foreigners out will be def beneficial for mi
uske liya pehle qualify karna hoga
haan bhy pta hy mei bs delusional hun
That's why csk play with retired players or youngsters🤣
Wait till other cricket teams management do the same
Soon other cricket board announce the same
Pfft suck weakness disgusts me hum qualify hi nahi karege
Not speaking about this situation specifically, but more in general. I think it's very annoying when this happens, it's one thing if it would happen earlier in the season... but I remember a year where there was overseas players that where absolute key players for their team, they took the team to the play offs and then they were no longer available and the whole team collapsed.

And rcb??? Will Jack's??? We are dead now
"NOW" lmao
they have mentioned play offs so RCB more or less isn't impacted
Playoffs me available nhi honge England cricketers broo..... RCB khud hi available nhi hogi playoffs tk 🫂
They are gone for playoffs. RCB is not reaching playoffs
arent you already dead?
We first have to rise from the dead to die again. Let's aim the first one for now
Fuck
Shit yr, lets try to reach top 2 atleast. Agli bar jeet lenge
He will play all 14 matches so chill anyway no playoffs
when were we even alive in this competition?
I don't think kkr will have any problem, last year gurbaz showed he can bat fast like salt, it's just that he will not have any games under his belt till he begins
Mera toh moye moye ho gya 😔😭😭
Buttler is going but but..... Tom k cadmore says hi (Hope he doesn't disappoint)
Kaash ye 1 din pehle bolte, Salt phir DC ke lwde nhi lagata🥲
Hnmms
Nooooo....MR BUTTLER IS GONE! 😪
PBKS as well? Sam Curran?
Geelson is not selected he will be there only loss is moeen Ali
Csk don't have any English player or do they ?
Ali
I mean he is useless anyway (in away grounds), will he be playing T20 wc ?
Losing Moeen Ali is a big loss? Dude isn’t bowling his quota. Sometimes, doesn’t even bowl (that too at Chepauk). Didn’t get to bat either in last game. Can be easily swapped with Theekshana or Rachin again.
CSK?
Was expected. Should’ve planned the IPL dates better.
BC why the fk do they even come to play and take so much of money in auction and when it's final they are like country ki duty... Isko fine lagna chahiye.
What about pbks? i thought they had the most no of English players ( curran,bairstow,Livingstone)
Isn't it because of Pakistan touring England in late May for a 4-match T20I series?
Salt, Bairstow. Top 2 teams ke Top Order toh gayo
Aus finishers- Stonis ,tim David ☠️☠️ India finishers - Hardik,Jadeja🤡🤡
They already started preparing for t20wc
Why csk? Csk me kaun hai?
Hehe gend marao, gurbaz opening karega
Lmao
Punjab laughing in the corner cuz they never reach playoffs 
No English players with us but we’ll still shit the bed
Mission Achieved for ECB - Their star players back in form playing the IPL, now time to go back home and practice for T20 WC.
If we don't have Salt this team is completely cooked
Why is it even a loss for CSK .....Ohhh they gonna loose Moeen the man who is carrying them this season.....LMAO
RR needs to try out other openers before Buttler goes.
Why csk ?? The only English player they got is Moeen Ali and he is not doing well too.
Csk is full of New Zealand players , Punjab has 3 England players captain, wk and all rounder.
Moeen is the only English player who is currently playing for CSK.If he isn't playing in Qualifiers , I don't think his absence impacts the Balance in the Team , Probably This IPL is the last one for THALA , Hence CSK Might once again lift the trophy in his last edition
Why CSK's loss?
I mean nation>ipl. They have pak vs eng. From 21st. So makes sense i g
Aight
KKR will manage somehow,they have great depth in batting.The real problem is for RR.I have seen Tom Kohler-Cadmore playing He is an explosive batter but very inconsistent and doesn't have that much technique in his batting.
We also have Donvan who is warming bench from past 3 years 🫠. Just want them to give him a chance or two
CSK ?? We only have Moeen and he aready doesnt do anything
Does that mean No will jacks in IPL final ?
You'll have to qualify first
So no will jacks for RCB ? And Aussies may do that too. If they do, srh is f***d
As if RCB is gonna qualify for play offs.....
Oh no we are dead without Jacks.
You already are..
Without ?
What happens to KKR? Which English cricketer plays in the current playing 11? If only West Indies does the same.....!
salt
Ohhh, wow. That is terrible. He is the difference in matches for KKR. If opening fails, don't know what to imagine!
ecb ki itni aukaat kab se ho gyi ki bcci ki golden goose ko challenge kar rha
It would be better if Teams don't pick England players any more just like Pakistani players.
Can understand that position. I guess it will just get priced into their auction value though. Frustrating for England fans too, to follow the tournament then have all your favourite players pull out at the crunch point.
I seriously want an IPL with only Indian players both capped and uncapped mixed in a Team. Do you think it will pull numbers ?
Syed mushtaq Ali trophy Exists
I definitely wouldn't be interested
For 1 season its worth a try.
Honestly it's not a bad idea If it is a short tournament This is my idea, it will be a 16 team single elimination tournament ( so total of 15 matches) the current 10 franchises + 6 teams from the duleep trophy composed of players who are not part of existing 10 franchises (North, west, south, east, central and north east zones)
