With just a few days left for the IPL 2021 Phase 2, many franchises have suffered a major setback after their star players decided to miss out the cash-rich tournament. BCCI has made it clear that the players have the right to decide whether they want to participate in the T20 league or not. Many players have withdrawn their names from IPL 14 phase 2 due to injury or some personal reasons.

Teams have also started traveling to UAE for this. Now less than a month is left in the first match of IPL. Meanwhile, it has also started to become clear that which players will play IPL and which players will not play. Teams are also taking replacements of players who are not playing. Although this will affect the teams, to compensate for this, the teams are also adding new players with them.

The fans are excited that phase 2 of IPL 2021 will begin soon. However, several international cricketers have made them unavailable for IPL 2021 phase 2 due to prior commitments and the busy global cricketing schedule. 

Following is the full list of international players who have pulled out of the upcoming second phase of the IPL 2021:

* Jos Butler (Rajasthan Royals)

* Jofra Archer (Rajasthan Royals)

* Ben Stokes (Rajasthan Royals)

* Pat Cummins (Kolkata Knight Riders)

* Adam Zampa (Royal Challengers Bangalore)

* Riley Meredith (Punjab Kings)

* Jhye Richardson (Punjab Kings)

* Steve Smith (Delhi Capitals).
