Now, it’s up to the individual players’ whether to take part or not. This won’t be much of an issue either. Australian players like Glenn Maxwell and David Warner opted out of international tours to be available for IPL 2021 while the ECB shifted its international tour of Bangladesh to make space for the tournament.
Kasi Viswanathan, the CEO of Chennai Super Kings, confirmed receiving communication from the BCCI to Cricbuzz. He said:
MS Dhoni-led CSK reached Dubai for IPL 2021 on Friday, becoming the second team after defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) to do so.
Playing in IPL 2021 best preparation for the players: Ricky Ponting
Although not many official hurdles remain now for the players’ participation in IPL 2021, there’s still some internal debate going on in the public, especially about the work-load issues ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting, however, dismissed these concerns on Friday, saying IPL 2021 would be the “best preparation” for the players.
Arch rivals CSK and MI will kick off the tournament on September 19, which will go on till October 15.
