England’s Woakes reveals reason for ditching IPL at the last moment

“With the World Cup and the Ashes, it would have been too much in a short space of time. I would have loved to have been part of the IPL, but something has to give,” Woakes said

“My inclusion in the World Cup squad, I didn’t know was going to happen—especially a couple of months ago,” Woakes was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

“With the World Cup and the Ashes, it would have been too much in a short space of time. I would have loved to have been part of the IPL, but something has to give,” Woakes said.
