The T20 tournament is scheduled to begin on March 22, featuring an opening match between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). However, several players have been sidelined due to injuries or personal reasons.
Lucknow Super Giants: England's fast bowler Mark Wood has opted out of participating in IPL 2024 to focus on managing his workload ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024. In his absence, Lucknow Super Giants have recruited West Indies' Shamar Joseph as his replacement.
Chennai Super Kings: CSK may face the absence of New Zealand batsman Devon Conway during the initial stages of IPL 2024 due to a thumb surgery he underwent following an injury sustained during the NZ vs AUS T20I series. Conway, who was the highest run-scorer for the MS Dhoni-led side in the previous IPL season, is likely to be sidelined. The defending champions are yet to announce a replacement for him.
