Pat Cummins, Travis Head to return as IPL set to resume

While some players are understandably apprehensive about their return considering the hostilities between the nations, the rest have their tasks cut out to manage their national duties with West Indies tour of England clashing with the play-offs and the World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa beginning on June 11.

All the ten teams have had to negotiate with their overseas players over their arrival plans for the league a day after the IPL announced the revised schedule following necessary clearances from the government.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins and his Australian team-mate Travis Head have confirmed their presence for two matches. SRH are already out of contention for playoffs. Meanwhile, for Punjab Kings (PBKS), all-rounder Marcus Stoinis and compatriot Josh Inglis may not return to India.
