Ten glorious years of history, the IPL has attracted stars from around the globe. Many spectacular international stars have played under the banner of an IPL franchise at least once season. Players look up to the IPL not just for the lucrative contracts but also as a platform to earn national call-ups. However, there are some prominent players who have never graced the world's richest cricket league in all these years. Let us now look at five famous players who have never played in the IPL.

5. Joe Root

Root plays for Yorkshire in the domestic circuit but despite some stellar showing, has never featured in the cash-rich Indian Premier League. In 25 T20I matches, Root has scored 743 runs at a strike-rate of 128.77, with his highest score being 90.

4. Denesh Ramdin

In 58 T20I matches, Ramdin has scored 421 runs at a strike-rate of 115.66 with a highest score of 55. It is undoubtedly a surprise that a player like Ramdin has never played in the IPL given the fact that so many Caribbean players have represented IPL franchises over the years.

3. Josh Hazlewood

Hazlewood, who has played seven T20I matches for Australia, has eight wickets to his name at an economy of 9.61. In the 2018 IPL auctions, he went unsold which came as a surprise to many.

2. Vernon Philander

Proteas speedster Philander, who has taken four wickets in seven T20I matches for the Proteas, is one of the leading bowlers for South Africa in Tests, but unfortunately, the IPL has never witnessed his scorching spells.

1. Stuart Broad

Broad, who has been a regular fixture in the English squad, has 65 wickets to his name in 56 T20I matches for the Three Lions at an economy of 7.63.
