ECB hints English players will be available for IPL

England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is hoping talks with Cricket Australia (CA) over permission for cricketers’ families to tour Down Under during Ashes will materialise. It is also expecting that English players will be available for the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to the postponement of limited-overs series in Bangladesh.

With respect to the IPL, we are going to have discussions with all our players. The postponement of the Bangladesh tour provides an opportunity for the players to present themselves for the IPL, ECB chief executive Tom Harrison said to media during an interaction on Thursday.

Players are going to have to manage their schedules because we have a busy winter and that comes on the end of a busy summer. Those discussions are underway. But obviously, on a case-by-case basis, those decisions will be made with the players, he added.
