The second leg of IPL 2021 is just around the corner and with the India-England series coming to a premature end, cricket fans in India now can't wait for the IPL to begin. Ahead of the season though, there have been quite a few changes that have been made to the squads with some players opting to miss the second leg of the tournament and teams having to announce their replacements.
However, all this happened while the international was still on and fans could be excused for missing out on a few changes here and there. Here is an updated squad list for all the eight teams of IPL 2021 prior to the UAE leg of the competition. Notably, this is expected to be the last time the IPL goes ahead with eight teams as two more sides will compete from the coming season in 2022.
