Giles hints at England players not playing the remainder of IPL 2021

Ever since the IPL 2021 was postponed midway, there has been no end to speculations regarding when, if at all a possibility, will the remainder of the tournament be held. And now, with reports emerging that the BCCI is looking at a September end-early October window, it gives birth to another question: Will we see the English players participate in it? Well, as per the recent statement made by England and Wales Cricket Board's managing director Ashley Giles, we may have seen the last of England players in IPL 2021. As per the FTP, England is supposed to tour Bangladesh right after the conclusion of the five-Test series against India, and then subsequently to Pakistan for two T20Is. And keeping the Ashes and the T20 World Cup in mind, the ECB is expected to rest some key players. However, Giles made it clear that just because the players have been given a break, it doesn't mean they have the liberty to 'go play cricket elsewhere', extinguishing hopes of the Englishmen playing any further part in the remainder of IPL 2021 whenever it takes place.
