Jofra Archer, Harry Brook and Adil Rashid have joined the growing number of England players who will not take part in next yearโs Indian Premier League.

The 28-year-old returned to India to continue his rehabilitation from an elbow injury alongside Englandโs World Cup squad, but was not considered to replace Reece Topley after his fellow fast bowler suffered a broken finger.
England Test captain Ben Stokes announced on Thursday he would not be available for the IPL.
Stokes was purchased by Chennai Super Kings for ยฃ1.65million last December, but struggled with his fitness and played only twice for his new franchise in the 2023 tournament.
Stokes is due for surgery on a longstanding knee injury to ensure he is fit for Englandโs five-match Test series with India which begins in January.
Joe Root followed the lead of Stokes two days later, confirming he would not join up with a Rajasthan Royals squad which contains England white-ball captain Jos Buttler next year.
