Matthew Wade, retained by the Gujarat Titans for the IPL 2024 season, currently juggles his cricket commitments with the joy of fatherhood. Despite his dedication to the Titans, Wade has decided to skip the team’s opening match in the IPL as he has committed to playing in the Sheffield Shield final for Tasmania.
The Sheffield Shield final between Tasmania and Western Australia will occur at the WACA from March 21 to March 25, overlapping with the start of the IPL season. Meanwhile, the Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, will kick off their IPL 2024 campaign on March 24 against the Mumbai Indians.
