Cricket Australia confirm that Australian IPL members have left India and are en-route to Maldives

Thanks to Cricket Australia’s border closure till May 15, there was a cloud over how the Australian members, involved in the Indian Premier League - including the players and the commentators - would head back home. However, reports later revealed that the board was planning on taking the Australian members to the Maldives before heading back home. 

“The Australians will remain in the Maldives until the conclusion of the travel pause pertaining to flights from India to Australia. As previously stated, CA and ACA are not seeking an exemption from the Australian Government.”

“CA and the ACA extend their sincere thanks to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for their responsiveness in moving the Australians from India to the Maldives less than two days after the decision to indefinitely postpone the Indian Premier League.”

“Mike Hussey remains in India having tested positive to COVID-19. Mike is experiencing mild symptoms and is in the care of his IPL franchise, the Chennai Super Kings. CA and the ACA will work closely with the BCCI to ensure Mike’s safe return to Australia when it is safe to do so.”
