IPL 2021: Glenn Maxwell hints that Australia, India, and England players could fly to the UK on chartered flight after IPL
Star Australian all-rounder Glen Maxwell says that he, along with other cricketers of his country, would not mind being on the same chartered flight that would take India, New Zealand, and England players to the United Kingdom after the end of the ongoing IPL. A senior BCCI official agreed that the option could be explored by looking at the international travel guidelines during the last week of May as all commercial flights from India to Australia are banned at the moment due to sky-rocketing cases of Covid-19 here.
“We just want to find a way to go home. The BCCI, both governments can work on a solution. If we have to wait a bit longer, so be it but there is a way to get home at some stage,” Maxwell told, “The Final Word Podcast” conducted by journalists Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins. “India and England are going to play in England. Worst comes to worst, we have to wait in England and try and find a way out in that chartered (flight) and get out of India. I am sure a lot of guys will try and put their hand up in trying to do that as well,” Maxwell said.
India and New Zealand are set to fight it out in the World Test Championship final from June 18 and will fly to England for that after the IPL ends.
