The Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) season will be played between September 19 and November 10 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Like all franchises, the SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) also touched ground in the country in August itself. The SRH players have already begun their training sessions after undergoing the initial quarantine phase as imposed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The IPL governing council recently released the entire itinerary for IPL 2020 season, thus confirming the SRH schedule in the process.

As evidenced from the recently-announced SRH schedule, the SRH team will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their opening match of the tournament on September 21. However, the franchise is set to miss the services of three of their cricketers, including SRH team captain David Warner in the opening week of the tournament. David Warner, along with Mitchell Marsh, is selected in Australia’s squad for September’s limited-overs series against England.
Additionally, SRH opening batsman Jonny Bairstow has been selected to play England’s T20I as well as ODIs in their Australian challenge at home. The three players are expected to make a comeback into the SRH squad later in September. Veteran cricketer Kane Williamson is likely to lead the SRH team in Warner’s absence.
