Why Cummins, Starc, and Hazlewood may miss IPL 2027?

Speculation is growing that Australia's pace trio Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood could miss IPL 2027 as Cricket Australia prioritizes workload management. Between August 2026 and start of IPL 2027, Australia is scheduled for 15 Test matches, including the WTC Final, followed by 2027 ODI World Cup, potentially forcing their absence from Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, and RCB.
