In IPL 2023, the team of Gujarat Titans, who are trying to get their last season’s rhythm, is going to get a big blow in the middle of the season. It is often seen that players have to leave the IPL due to national duty. Same is going to happen with defending champion Gujarat. That player of the Gujarat Titans team has so far done useful bowling in four of the first five matches, completing the quota of 4-4 overs. Earlier, the team suffered a major setback when Kane Williamson was injured in the opening moments of the first match and was ruled out of the entire tournament.
We are talking about Joshua Little of Ireland, who was added by the franchise in the mini auction for Rs 4.4 crore. This bowler, who took a hat-trick in T20 World Cup 2022, was fiercely bid in the IPL auction. But now he/she will have to leave his/her team in the middle of the season in front of national duty. he/she has so far played four matches for Gujarat in which he/she has three wickets in his/her name. he/she did not get a chance against Rajasthan Royals in the last match. The special thing was that the Gujarat team lost that match. he/she has now been selected in the Ireland team for the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh in May. For this reason, he/she will leave his/her team Gujarat Titans on 5th May.

Apart from Gujarat, it is difficult for these two teams as well.
However, this series is of three matches, against which will be played on 9, 12 and 14 May. That is, after this, Little can join the team again. But during this he/she will miss about four matches for the team. In his/her absence, it will be interesting to see who Captain Hardik Pandya plays in the team. Not only this, Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders can also suffer setbacks. Mustafizur Rahman from Delhi and Liton Das from KKR can also return for this series. This series is also important for Ireland from the point of view of direct qualification in ODI World Cup 2023. If Ireland wins 3-0 then South Africa will be under threat.
