The Aussies have prioritized the Indian Premier League over the Limited Overs Series Against Pakistan but still, they are set to miss the start of the cash-rich tournament. The Australia-Pakistan tour coincides with IPL, from March 4-25 but David Warner, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins would skip the assignment from March 29. BCCI has not confirmed the dates for IPL but the players would meet with their respective IPL teams after April 5.
All-rounders Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis, pacers Jason Behrendorff would also miss some of the matches as they take part in the three ODIs and one T20I against Pakistan. Fortunately for Daniel Sams, Riley Meredith, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and Tim David they are not contracted with CA contracts and will be taking part with their teams in IPL.
