Jos Buttler | IPL 2021: Rajasthan Royals batsman Jos Buttler says its impossible to play remainder of matches of IPL

England’s legendary wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler, who plays Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, is unlikely to play the rest of the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches in September-October due to a clash with the national team’s schedule. The schedule for the rest of the IPL and England’s limited overs tours of Bangladesh and Pakistan is likely to clash.

Jos Buttler told The Telegraph, “In general, IPL dates do not clash with any other international matches, which makes it easier to be available for this tournament. When its schedule clashes with international cricket, I believe England will get priority.

The IPL was postponed after holding 29 matches in May after several cases of COVID-19 were detected in a bio-secure environment. The rest of its matches will now be held in the United Arab Emirates instead of India.
