IPL 2021: BCCI, other cricket boards working to ensure safe return for overseas players

Firstpost  

Many of New Zealand’s top players are trying to travel to the United Kingdom where they are due to play a Test series against England next month Cricket authorities in Australia, New Zealand and England rushed to evacuate top players from Covid-hit India on Wednesday after the lucrative Indian Premier League was abandoned following a number of positive tests. Eight of England’s 11 players arrived back in London, and New Zealand Cricket said it was arranging for its Test players to fly to Britain ahead of their series there and next month’s World Test Championship final against India. “The BCCI is working through arrangements to repatriate all the players, the support staff, and umpires commentators as quickly and safely as possible,” said Nick Hockley, Cricket Australia’s interim CEO. Britain is currently only allowing its own citizens to travel home from India but a New Zealand Cricket spokesman said “we’re confident of getting border exemptions”.
