Following the announcement of England’s winter itinerary, ECB chief executive David Collier said that players would no longer be prevented from taking part in the lucrative Twenty20 league.

Centrally contracted players were banned from this year’s IPL due to international commitments.And a number of fringe players, including Ravi Bopara, Luke Wright and Sajid Mahmood all turned down offers in order to remain in county cricket.

The only English player to feature in the tournament was Hampshire captain Dimitri Mascarenhas, whose supporting role for eventual winners Rajasthan Royals sparked fears that he could have endangered his international prospects.
