Don't need a complete list of every player every to have played, per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and the fact that it's just trivia. Most teams have their own articles for players e.g. List of Chennai Super Kings cricketers, there is no reason why we need this article which is a less easy to understand version of that data, when the team lists are perfectly fine, and in line with cricketer lists we have for other non-IPL cricket teams.

Delete Per nom, we already have lists for cricketers by cricket teams. Delete it per WP:NOTSTATS and WP:NLIST. RoboCric (talk) 15:55, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is why we have team categories, folks. Nate • (chatter) 18:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Simply too big to be reasonable. Individual lists for teams (which are fine) already exist, so this list is major overkill. StickyWicket (talk) 18:25, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We have categories for players from separate teams, a list like this is going to be enormous with the number of players who've played in the competition. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 19:03, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Already too long and can only increase. Need to have more selective criteria than this. Rupples (talk) 19:08, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
