New Delhi: The Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Rajasthan Royals, Jake Lush McCrum, has confirmed that the England and Australia cricketers will be available for selection from the first day of the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
According to a report, the BCCI has relaxed the quarantine guidelines for the upcoming cricketers which had earlier put the availability of Australia and England cricketers under doubt.
Cricket’s oldest rivals are all set to square off in three T20Is and as many ODIs in England between September 4 and 16. The IPL will get underway in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 19.
The BCCI had earlier informed that any cricketer coming to participate in the cash-rich tournament would have to undergo a 7-day mandatory isolation and test COVID-19 negative on the first, third and sixth day of his quarantine before joining other players in the bio-secure bubble.
But with the relaxation of this guidelines, the English and Australian cricketers are expected to play from Day 1 of IPL.
