The IPL 2020 is the world’s biggest and most lucrative cricket event as along with 125 Indians, 62 top foreign cricketers are contracted to participate in the IPL 2020 for 8 IPL teams. But due to the current Covid19 crisis as revealed in the last 3 weeks, 34 of the top 62 international cricketers will either reach late for IPL 2020 by 8-10 days or are completely doubtful for the league edition in UAE.
The current Quarantine norms for international travels everywhere are very strict at this stage and this will make South African cricketers doubtful and cricketers from Australia, England, and Sri Lanka will get late minimum by 1 week for IPL 2020.
