5 India players whose comeback seems impossible in IPL 2024

The IPL 2024 mini-auction will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on December 19. Before that, all ten franchises have to submit the list of released and retained players by November 26. 

The trading window has been open for the franchises to swap players from each other and till now only trade has happened. West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd moved to Mumbai Indians from Lucknow Super Giants. Not much activity is expected in the trading window as this is the final year of the three-year contracts for all players.

However, the focus will be on the veteran players, especially Indian players who have been part of the Indian Premier League for some time now. There are players still in the squads of various franchises who were once in the prime of their form, but now their effect has diminished.

And if these players are released ahead of the IPL 2024 auction, they might not find any buyers in the event in Dubai.

Here are 5 Indian players whose comeback seems impossible in IPL 2024:

1. Sheldon Jackson

Sheldon Jackson has been a staple of the Indian Premier League for quite some now. He has played for franchises like Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. His record is not extraordinary and one big reason that he has failed to find reliable success is his inconsistent performances.

Despite making his IPL debut in 2017, Jackson has played only 9 matches, scoring 61 runs with a highest of 16 runs. Behind the stumps, he has 7 catches and 2 stumpings to his name. He had a decent run of 5 matches in IPL 2022 with KKR, but he failed to come good with just 23 runs in total.
