As the nation temporarily halts arrivals from India, Mumbai Indians opener Chris Lynn has urged Cricket Australia (CA) to arrange for a chartered flight to carry Australians home at the end of the ongoing IPL.
When asked explicitly about the cricketers in India, Morrison said that if repatriation flights resumed later in May, they would not receive preferential treatment. The IPL group stage will end on May 23, followed by the final on May 30.
He said, ”This wasn't part of an Australian tour," he said. "They're under their own resources. And they'll be using those resources to, I'm sure, to see them return to Australia in accordance with their own arrangements.”
Cricket Australia is known to be weighing the implications of today's decision, but a charter flight is not currently a viable choice. They, as well as the Australian coaching staff, broadcasters, and analysts working on the game, have been in close communication with CA and the Australian Cricketers' Association.
He said,"I know there are people worse off than us. But we are going from a really tight bubble and are getting vaccinated next week so hopefully the government will let us get home on a private charter”.
Let us remind you couple of players had already left IPL due to their personal reasons.
