David Warner, Steve Smith also planning to withdraw from IPL according to Australian media reports

After three Australian players, Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson, and Andrew Tye pulled out of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) in the mid-way, reports claim that Steve Smith and David Warner are also looking to fly back home. The reports come amidst the record-breaking Coronavirus cases in India which have led to Australia potentially closing its borders. However, with Australia announcing that it will suspend all direct passenger flights from India until May 15, plans for Aussie players to leave India have been halted. The decision to halt flights has come to prevent more virulent Coronavirus variants from entering the country. According to Australian media, they are reporting that their government is debating over issuing all flights from India which is dealing with record Coronavirus cases on a daily basis. "Australian cricketers including David Warner and Steve Smith are now hoping to be flown home to India before borders shut," news agency IANS quoted 9News as saying on Tuesday. The report also claimed that around 30 Australian players, coaches, and commentators are ‘keen to get out of India due to the 'deteriorating situation right across the country.’
