More Aussie Players Might Pull Out Of IPL 2021 Including David Warner And Steve Smith
“Australian cricketers including David Warner and Steve Smith are now hoping to be flown home to India before borders shut,” news agency IANS quoted 9News as saying on Tuesday.
In an interview, Annastacia Palaszczuk, an Australian politician said that it is high time that government should suspend every flight coming or going to India. If that happens then every Aussie cricketer and staff member of franchise will have to leave IPL 2021 mid-way through the season.
“I do believe now is the time to suspend those flights,” Palaszczuk was quoted as saying by 9news.
Amidst, Nathan Coulter Nile, the Aussie pacer has taken a stand saying that he will be with his franchise Mumbai Indians till the end of the edition. He also added that it was surprising to watch Adam Zampa, Andrew Tye, and Kane Richardson leaving IPL in the mid-way.
“I was surprised to see AJ (Andre Tye) go home, and then Zamps and Richo (Kane Richardson), but when you speak to them, you definitely understand where they’re coming from,” he added.
