After a lot of speculations around English superstar wicketkeeper batter Jonny Bairstow's availability for the upcoming IPL 2023, it has been confirmed that the power-hitter is yet to recover completely from the leg injury he sustained last year and won't take any chances with the Ashes scheduled just after the IPL. It's a big blow for Punjab Kings, who announced Matthew Short, rising Aussie youngster as replacement of injured Jonny.
