The list of people leaving the tournament is going up with each day passing.From players to empires, several people are leaving the ongoing IPL season, one after the other for various reasons. Australian players Kane Richardson and Adam Zampa have already left Australia and a few umpires have also opted out of IPL.
A few other Australian players are also expected to leave the tournament as the Australian government has issued new rules restricting the flight services from India. Currently, only 30 percent of flights are only permitted and more restrictions are likely to come.It has to be noted that other countries like the United Kingdom, UAE, Singapore, Canada, and New Zealand are also restricting travel from India. More and more players are expected to leave the tournament, going by the Covid-19 scare.
If the same happens, the IPL tournament is likely to be canceled mid-way. The final match of IPL will be played on May 30. The tournament will be played for nearly one month.These developments are raising doubt on the conduction of the remaining edition of the current edition.
