In a significant update, RCB and SRH fans can rejoice because Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins are all set to be retained by their respective franchises. The development comes at a time of uncertainty over Australian stars' availability for IPL 2027. 

A report from Daniel Cherny of CodeSports revealed that Hazlewood will be retained by RCB for IPL 2027, and so will be Pat Cummins. Notably, the report mentioned that the Australian skipper will play uninterrupted cricket from December 2026 till Ashes 2027. 

Pat Cummins To Play Entire IPL 2027

The reason why Australian players were unlikely for IPL 2027 was because of their packed schedule. They have Ashes lined up for July 2027, followed by the ODI World Cup in November 2027. Therefore, several players, including Pat Cummins, hinted that they might skip the cash-studded league to manage their workload.

However, Daniel Cherny reported that Pat Cummins will be part of SRH’s retention list that will be released on November 17. It also means that Cummins will lead SRH, and Ishan Kishan will play just as a player. For the unversed, Cummins missed the start of IPL 2026 with an injury, and Kishan led the Men in Orange in his absence. 

Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head to be retained

Josh Hazlewood has been a key player for RCB, and the right-arm seamer has picked up 37 wickets in the last two title-winning seasons. Now, Hazlewood will also play the entire IPL 2027 and will be retained. Meanwhile, Travis Head, who is part of Australia’s Test setup, will be retained by SRH as well. 

Although, it is worth noting that retention does not guarantee full-time availability for IPL 2027. The report mentioned that the players would need a No Objection Certificate (NoC) from Cricket Australia for IPL 2027.

Mitchell Starc Yet to commit for IPL 2027

Despite three big Australia stars committing for IPL 2027, Mitchell Starc is yet to confirm his availability. The report added that Starc, speaking to Code Sports last month mentioned that he is not sure of playing IPL 2027 because of Ashes.

Notably, Starc features for Delhi Capitals and was absent from IPL for a long time from 2015 to 2024.
