IPL 2021: Good news for fans! Australia issues NOCs for second leg of IPL 14 in UAE

The reason behind this move is seen as a preparation for the T20 World Cup in UAE later in the year.

Cricket Australia on Sunday cleared the way for its players to take part in the Indian Premier League's (IPL 2021) resumption in the UAE in September and October. CA's clearance came after the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced the postponement of a three-match ODI series between the two nations that was originally planned to be held in India ahead of the T20 World Cup, reported cricket.com.au. Also, the reason behind this move is seen as a preparation for the T20 World Cup in UAE later in the year. "It will be the second successive season in which players such as David Warner, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis have missed the opening rounds of Australia's domestic competitions to participate in the lucrative domestic T20 tournament," said a report by cricket.com.au.
