It’s only fair to assume that the World’s top white-ball tournament will feature several big names from the World’s top white-ball team. But that wasn’t always the case; the early IPL phase saw English players make only sporadic appearances in the tournament.

The England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) reluctance to send their players overseas- coupled with an overlapping home-season- were primarily responsible for the absence of English stars in the IPL’s budding years. But even with those constraints, the likes of Andrew Flintoff (INR 9.8 Crores), Kevin Pietersen (INR 9.8 Crores), and Ravi Bopara (INR 2.8 Crores) featured as marquee international names.

In recent years, however, the ECB has taken U-turn on its stance of restricting English participation. Consequently, England’s IPL revenue has seen a major spike since 2017. Tymal Mills (INR 12 Crores), Ben Stokes (INR 12.5 Crores and 14.5 Crores) and Jofra Archer (INR 7.20 Crores) are among some of the costliest purchases in the neo-era of the tournament.
