I would sign up again: Neesham willing to return to India for IPL's completion

As soon as the news of IPL 2021 postponement, due to the Covid-19 crisis in India broke, out, BCCI along with fellow associations started sending players back home immediately. It was quite a task for overseas players to return as many countries have banned flights for India for the time being. Which meant players had to be sent out on charter flights and in Australia's case, it meant going to another country, quarantining there, and then flying back home. On Saturday, the first lot of New Zealand players landed in Auckland, where they will spend the next 14 days, before returning to their families. Mumbai Indians' all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, while speaking to Newshub from his hotel room, said he would do it all over again if IPL 2021 was to resume despite the risks. “For me, I signed up for the IPL knowing what it might be like. I felt like it was an obligation - I made the commitment to go and never had any thoughts of pulling out individually before the tournament finished. Guys will have different opinions on that, but it's my job, I'm a professional and you have plenty of times you tour countries you're not that keen on going to, but it's about getting on the field and getting the job done,” Neesham told Newshub
