Australia’s white-ball skipper Aaron Finch has commented that it will be hard for his teammates who withdrew themselves from the limited-overs tour of West Indies to justify participating in the rescheduled IPL 2021 in UAE. Last week, 7 Australian players pulled out from the WI and BAN T20Is.

Organizers of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) have reportedly agreed to the BCCI’s request, and are said to be in the process of rescheduling the tournament so that it does not overlap with the IPL. The dates are yet to be confirmed, but CPL 2021 is expected to kick-off a week earlier.

After tweets of the trio - Jos Buttler, Brendon McCullum and Eoin Morgan - mocking the Indian fans and the accents went viral, the KKR duo can find themselves in troubled waters. KKR’s CEO Venky Mysore clearly stated that the franchise has ‘zero tolerance' for any sort of discrimination.

Australian spinner Ashton Agar has asserted that he isn’t one bit surprised at the international players’ withdrawal mid-way from the cash-rich IPL. He also insisted that it takes a toll on the players’ mental health, staying weeks and weeks in the various bio-bubbles, during international stints.
