even aquainted with this fact that the aussie players will have 2 leave the ipl matches 4 playing the test matches many of the players were selected 4 ipl matches.................

then why not any player frm England?or then why were these aussie players at all selected?

Answer 1

The Englland Cricket board (ECB) didnt wanted its players to go for IPl . The players who had signed some contracts had to remain back. the cricket board assigned them to play the county cup in their own backyard. The board also didnt like the huge amount of money which was being spent on ipl.

Answer 2

They're contracted to play for their counties.

Answer 3

Their board did not want them to.

Was against IPL and the money it spent on players.

Answer 4

Because the inaugural IPL season coincided with the County Championship season as well as New Zealand's tour of England, the ECB and county cricket clubs raised their concerns to the BCCI over players. The ECB made it abundantly clear that they would not sign No Objection Certificates for players—a prerequisite for playing in the IPL. Chairmen of the county clubs also made it clear that players contracted to them were required to fulfil their commitment to their county. As a result of this, Dimitri Mascarenhas remains the only English player to have signed with the IPL.
