According to the recently-announced KXIP schedule, the KXIP team will be taking on the Delhi Capitals in their opening IPL 2020 fixture on September 20. The franchise, however, is set to miss the services of dynamic Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell in the first week of the tournament. Maxwell is currently in England for a limited-overs series against the hosts. Additionally, it remains to be seen if Chris Jordan will also be missing the initial stages of IPL 2020 KXIP squad as the right-arm bowler is selected in England’s T20 team against Australia. If Jordan gets selected in the ODI segment of the England vs Australia contests, he will join Glenn Maxwell as another latecomer to the KXIP team in the IPL 2020.
