Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh has expressed concerns about the scheduling of the 2024 IPL season, which concludes just days before the start of the T20 World Cup. Singh highlighted the need for 4-5 practice games for the Indian team before the tournament, while former teammate Anil Kumble believes the IPL matches provide sufficient preparation for the global event. Kumble also commented on the departure of England players from the IPL ahead of the playoffs, acknowledging that each country has its own approach to preparing for major tournaments.
