Players faced some hard times as the Australian government didn’t allow their players to return back to the country.

Pat Cummins decided to quit another half of IPL and concentrate on international duties.

‘I think they would find it hard to justify going back’: Aaron Finch
“The other guys – I was a little bit surprised. I’ve chatted to them all – a little bit surprised but it’s also understandable … but I wish that they were there,” Finch told in an Interview.
“I think they would find it hard to justify going back and playing that second half of the IPL. Just purely based on the workload coming up with a T20 World Cup and a huge home summer. It’s really tough.
“It’s a tough situation that everyone has been put in, but personally, I would find it hard to do that knowing how difficult it is and how challenging it is mentally, and on your family as well. That’s what I would think,” he added.
