Most Australian Players Likely to Play in 2nd Leg of IPL
Aaron Finch, Australia’s white ball captain, has said that Australians would find it hard to justify taking part in the IPL, if they skipped national duty.
“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.”
Regardless of the skipper’s remarks, most Australians are likely to feature in the second leg of the Indian Premier League with the remaining matches of the competition expected to be played between September 18 and October 15 in the UAE.
