IPL 2023: Rohit Sharma, the India captain, said on Monday (March 13) that Indian Test players who are not participating in the IPL 2023 playoffs may travel to the UK sooner than the others to start getting ready for the World Test Championship Final. With the upcoming Indian Premier League 2023 season continuing till May 28, India, who will meet Australia in the WTC Final at The Oval from June 7, faces a difficult scheduling conflict.

“I don’t think it will be a huge problem but yeah, look I believe in preparation and preparations will be key for us come the finals. Around 21st May, there will be six teams who will possibly be out of IPL playoffs contention and so whichever players are available, we will try and find time to get them to the UK early as possible and get some time and we will monitor as much as possible,” Rohit said.
With the exception of Cheteshwar Pujara, the rest of India’s likely WTC Final roster will participate in the IPL beginning on March 31.
The current injury issues involving the Indian team (Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant), as well as the T20 tournament’s return to a home-away structure mandating a lot of inter-city travel, would make player workloads significantly more important.
Mumbai Indians’ skipper further stated that controlling these issues will be just as important as getting ready for the in-game details, such as practising with the Dukes ball that will be used in England.
The neutral conditions in England would produce a completely different game between these India and Australia in what won’t be foreign neutral conditions for either side.
