Ever since the advent of cash-rich T20 leagues across the world, including the money-minting Indian Premier League, there has been a debate over players choosing franchise cricket over their respective national teams' interest.

England Veteran Stokes skipped IPL auction to prolong international career

The West Indies are a prime example of how leading cricketers have often opted to feature for the various lucrative T20 leagues, keeping behind their national interest.

There have been minor exceptions to the trend with cricketers like Mitchell Starc previously opting out of the IPL to focus on the Ashes, and the latest one to that elite list is English Test captain Ben Stokes, who had opted out of the 2024 edition of the IPL to manage his workloads after a gruelling Test series in India.
