Although cricket in most of the countries has once again come to a halt. Where on one hand the Indian Premier League 2021 was suspended, the Pakistan Super League is also once again under the radar after being postponed earlier. Although all cricketers and coaching personnel have left India after the truncated IPL season, the Australian players are yet to reach their home country. They are currently serving mandatory 14 days quarantine.
Ricky Ponting likely to be named Australia’s coach
