Australian pacer Scott Boland, known for his accuracy and success, has generated interest among the IPL fraternity about his possible participation in the 2025 season. Despite being one of the top performers in international cricket, especially in Tests, there is no confirmation of Boland being part of any IPL franchise for the next season. His name was noticeably missing from the IPL 2025 squads announced post-auction.
Boland’s disciplined bowling and his ability to perform under pressure, which has been witnessed in pink-ball Tests and Australian domestic leagues, makes him a great asset. However, the lack of experience in the T20 format, coupled with the fact that he has been focusing on Test cricket and the Big Bash League (BBL), may be the reason why franchises haven’t gone after him aggressively. Unlike some of his Australian counterparts who signed massive IPL deals, Boland has focused on international commitments, such as Australia’s tour of India.

This is a strategic choice that fits into his specialist bowling role in seam and swing conditions. Though he has not made his IPL debut, the performances continue to entertain fans worldwide, opening room for speculation about mid-season inclusion or future bids. Be it or not, Boland remains an important part of Australia’s cricketing plans as they prepare for tough international fixtures.
For now, IPL fans can only hope and wait to see if the maestro of line and length comes to the league. The absence makes him all the more appealing since fans look forward to viewing his class in India’s most celebrated cricketing tournament.
