Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Jonny Bairstow will be leaving the Indian Premier League on April 23 to join England’s World Cup camp.
He will be playing two more games this season in the IPL for Sunrisers. One is on Sunday against Kolkata Knight Riders and other on Tuesday against Chennai Super Kings.
His England’s World Cup camps will start on May 30 in United Kingdom.
He said, “So far it has gone well. To be in the top five leading run scorers…it is really very pleasing. Hopefully I can finish on a high in the next two games as well and we could be in the position to make the play-offs by the time I leave.”
Apart from Bairstow all the other English players too will be leaving the IPL and reach back to England.
Bairstow is presently fifth highest-run scorer in IPL and so his absence will be a big blow for the team.
This season is a debut for the player with Hyderabad Sunrisers and so far has scored 365 runs in eight games.
Bairstow added, “We get back after the Chennai game on April 23. Then we’ve got the World Cup camp. We then play Pakistan in the five-ODI series and then we’ve got two warm-up matches in which we play Afghanistan and Australia. And then we go into the World Cup.”
