The Indian Premier League (IPL) is scheduled to commence on March 22, 2025.
Lets' take a look at the list of players who are going to miss the IPL 2025.
Lucknow Super Giants have decided to retain Indian fast bowler Mayank Yadav for ₹11 crore prior to the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, a report from ESPNCricinfo on Tuesday (March 11) indicates that the 22-year-old bowler from Delhi, who debuted for India last year, is likely to miss the first half of IPL 2025. Reports suggest that Mayank is recovering from a lumbar stress injury and has recently started bowling again at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
India's premium fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been retained by the Mumbai Indians for Rs 18 crore in preparation for the IPL 2025 mega auction. The 31-year-old player has been sidelined since January 5, 2025, due to a lower back injury. Although Bumrah has started bowling again, reports indicate that he will be unavailable for the first two weeks of IPL 2025.
Mumbai Indians' skipper Hardik Pandya will be unavailable for Mumbai Indians' opening match of IPL 2025 against Chennai Super Kings at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on March 23. He was suspended for one match following MI's final group stage game of IPL 2024 against Lucknow Super Giants due to a slow over rate, which means he cannot be selected for this match.
RCB acquired Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood for Rs 12.50 crore during the IPL 2025 mega auction. However, he is currently sidelined due to a hip injury, raising concerns about his availability for the 18th season of the world's most lucrative franchise cricket league.
Australia's star all-rounder and T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh, acquired by LSG for Rs 3.40 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction, may be unable to participate in the beginning of IPL 2025 because of a back issue. He was sidelined from the Champions Trophy 2025 in January due to lower back pain and dysfunction, and it was indicated at that time that he might also be absent from the IPL.
