Aakash Chopra says “The IPL family doesn’t forget” in the Indian Premier League. Aakash Chopra believes the Indian Premier League franchises. They will not forget the withdrawals of the England players. They might not be preferred picks in the next auction.
Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, and Chris Woakes recently withdrew from the remainder of Indian Premier League 2021. While the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Punjab Kings. They have already named replacements for Bairstow and Malan respectively. Also, the Delhi Capitals are yet to pick one for Woakes.

Speaking about pullouts in a video shared on his YouTube channel. Aakash Chopra pointed out that a plethora of English players. They will be missing in action.
“Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes – they were already not coming. But now Dawid Malan, Chris Woakes, and Jonny Bairstow have also taken their name back. That means half a dozen English players will not be part of the IPL. It has been a mass exodus. The IPL family doesn’t forget,” Aakash Chopra said.
Moreover, the absence of Archer, Stokes, and Buttler was known beforehand. They have valid reasons for the same. But the last-minute withdrawals of Bairstow, Malan, and Woakes. They would have certainly hurt the Indian Premier League franchises.
