The IPL 2025 is set to resume on May 17, but then unfortunately the status of foreign stars is still not known. Or at least, there is a lot of confusion surrounding the same. Call it fear, or the upcoming series’ in the international calendar, but some of the overseas stars will not make it for the rest of the tournament for sure, while a large chunk will still continue to play.
That means, a few teams are also likely to be impacted due to this. InsideSport takes a look at the current status of the all the foreign players, across all teams.
Batting Woes for MI?
The biggest challenge for MI would be to replace the likes of Ryan Rickelton and Will Jacks, who won’t be available after the group stages. The duo have scored 336 and 195 runs in the tournament so far, and their departure could disrupt the balance of the team.
| Mumbai Indians | Available/Unavailable |
|---|---|
| Ryan Rickelton | Till May 25 |
| Bevon Jacobs | Available |
| Will Jacks | Till May 25 |
| Mitchell Santner | Available |
| Corbin Bosch | Till May 25 |
| Trent Boult | Available |
| Reece Topley | Available |
| Mujeeb-ur-Rahman | Available |
No Hazlewood Means No IPL Title for RCB?
Perhaps the biggest blow could come RCB’s way. The team looked poised for their first ever title before the break. And now, Bethell won’t be available after May 25, and similar would be the case for Lungi Ngidi. But where it would hurt the most is, that their best bowler, Josh Hazlewood would be absent altogether. He has 18 wickets in 10 matches only.
| Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Available/Unavailable |
|---|---|
| Jacob Bethell | Till May 25 |
| Tim David | Available |
| Romario Shepherd | Doubtful |
| Lungi Ngidi | Till May 25 |

| Philip Salt | Available |
| Nuwan Thushara | Available |
PBKS Largely Safe, Enough Resources Available
Luckily for Shreyas Iyer, all his resources are coming back. Except for Marco Jansen, who is available till the group stages only. In short, they won’t have any problem during the rest of the tournament, as far as the availability of players is concerned.
| Punjab Kings | Available/Unavailable |
|---|---|
| Josh Inglis | Available |
| Marcus Stoinis | Available |
| Azmatullah Omarzai | Available |

Clouds Over DC, Mitchell Starc Doubtful
Tristan Stubbs, Mitchell Starc, Jake Fraser-McGurk — these players are either confirmed to not play or doubtful. In either case, DC would suffer on that account. As it is, they are in fifth position, and every loss from here on will make it tough for Axar Patel’s team.
| Delhi Capitals | Available/Unavailable |
|---|---|
| Faf du Plessis | Available |
| Tristan Stubbs | Doubtful |

Doesn’t Matter Who’s In, Who’s Out?
Once again, SRH are out, so it does not matter who plays for them, or not. BTW, Travis Head and Wiaan Mulder play till the last league match, along with Pat Cummins. Having said that, hopefully the team will come up with improved performances in the remaining fixtures.

Kolkata Well-Covered, But Chances Very Slim
Their main players, Quinton De Kock, Russell, Sunil Narine, Moeen Ali and Nortje are all going to play. But with only 5-10% chance of playoffs qualification, they should only be looking to win their remaining matches. That’s it.
| Kolkata Knight Riders | Available/Unavailable |

| Quinton de Kock | Available |
| Andre Russell | Available |
| Sunil Narine | Available |
| Rovman Powell | Doubtful |

LSG to be Hit Hard, But Qualification Out of Question
The team is still not out of the competition, but then there isn’t much for them in IPL 2025. Having said that, their main men, Markram and Marsh will play all league matches. If in case, they go forward, Miller and Pooran are available.
| Lukcnow Super Giants | Available/ Unavailable |
|---|---|
| Matthew Breetzke | Available |

Team Out, Players Around for RR
There isn’t any player availability issue for Rajasthan. The team is already out, and Archer is scheduled to leave after May 25. But that doesn’t matter at all for them. They play their last match on May 20 anyways.
| Rajasthan Royals | Available/Unavailable |

Best Team GT Sure to Suffer
They are title contenders and without Buttler and Rabada, their chances will be highly impacted. Buttler has 500 runs in 11 matches. Rabada had only played two, but then he is an excellent bowler. So the team ideally would have wanted him.
| Gujarat Titans | Available/Unavailable |
|---|---|
| Jos Buttler | Till May 25 |

| Sherfane Rutheford | Till May 25 |

MS Dhoni’s Team Out, English & Kiwi Players Miss Out
As per reports, Conway and Rachin Ravindra are not coming back. Jamie Overton was roped in, but then even before he joined, the IPL was stopped. So, he also won’t be coming. Rest, Noor Ahmad, Dewald Brevis, and Sam Curran are available.
