Former KKR captain Dinesh Karthik revealed that Pat Cummins has "himself said that he will not come" when the IPL 2021 resumes in the UAE.
Last month, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had confirmed that the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season will be held in the United Arab Emirates "considering the monsoon season in India in the months of September-October". While this news brought much joy to IPL fans around the world, many were left wondering about the participation of their favourite overseas stars. There has been a lot of speculation that many big names will be missing when IPL 2021 resumes in the UAE and on Friday Dinesh Karthik all but ruled out Kolkata Knight Riders' star pacer Pat Cummins. The former KKR captain revealed that the Australian pace sensation has himself said "that he will not come". Karthik's comments will come as a big blow to a team which was languishing in seventh place in the IPL Points Table when the tournament had to be postponed. "Pat Cummins has himself said that he will not come," Karthik told TOI. It's still unclear whether the England players will be allowed to participate in the tournament by their board but Karthik said he his ready to lead the KKR team if regular skipper Eoin Morgan doesn't turn up.More Related News
