New Delhi: Foreign cricketers, including Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, playing in the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) are getting increasingly desperate to get out of India due to a worsening COVID-19 wave. In their bid to leave India, they wouldn’t mind taking a detour to reach their homes.
Maxwell showed this desperation to leave India as quickly as possible after the IPL, when he said that he wouldn’t mind taking the same charter flight that would take the India and New Zealand players to England for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, scheduled in June, on the way to Australia.

AHMEDABAD: Star Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell says that he, along with other cricketers of his country, wouldn t mind being on the same chartered flight that would take India, New Zealand and England players to the United Kingdom after the IPL.
A senior BCCI official agreed that the option could be explored looking at the international travel guidelines during the last week of May as all commercial flights from India to Australia are banned at the moment due to sky-rocketing cases of Covid-19 here. We just want to find a way to go home. The BCCI, both governments can work a solution. If we have to wait a bit longer, so be it; but there is a way to get home at some stage, Maxwell told The Final Word Podcast conducted by journalists Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins.
