Since its establishment, the Indian Premier League has had a slew of Australian players join the league and play key roles for their respective franchises. Even in 2021, a few clubs will rely on the participation of Australian players – However, it is still unclear if the Australians would participate in the 2nd leg of the IPL 2021 or not? lets look at Will Australia Players Play 2nd Leg Of The IPL 2021.
Will Australia Players Play 2nd Leg Of The IPL 2021
But since IPL 2021 was unexpectedly canceled, several players and their individual boards have expressed worries about the 2nd phase. The BCCI anticipated the players to come in because the competition was carefully planned soon before the T20 World Cup, and both tournaments were hosted by the UAE.
The concept was that the boards would not be hesitant to send their players to the high-profile event because it would provide them with valuable practice. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), which had earlier expressed reservations about sending their players to the 2nd leg, has now consented. In fact, their visit to Bangladesh, which had been slated to coincide with the IPL, has been rescheduled.
Australian players’ questionable participation in the IPL 2021
Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) was supposed to host the tournament in India. In October, the series was planned to broadcast. The ACB and Cricket West Indies (CWI), on the other hand, are still to announce whether they would participate in a series organized by Cricket Australia. CWI has also announced that its players would be available for the IPL 2021 2nd leg.
The announcement of Australian players’ questionable participation in the IPL 2021 came on the same day that New Zealand Cricket (NZC) announced that its players will be released for the IPL 2021’s 2nd leg. New Zealand will play two series in Bangladesh and Pakistan, with their IPL-bound stars missing out and a second-string team is being selected.
