IPL 2021: UAE would have been a better venue, says Sunrisers Hyderabad wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha

IPL 2021: Wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha indicated that the bio-bubble for IPL-14 was not as foolproof as the one in UAE last year.

Sunrisers Hyderabad wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha opened up on the bio-bubble breach in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 and said it would have been better if the IPL was held in UAE, like last year. Saha was one of the few players who contracted the coronavirus before the IPL 2021 was suspended midway after multiple Covid-19 cases were reported in its bio-bubble. "It's the job of the stakeholders to assess it, but the only thing I would say is that there was not a single individual during our training in UAE (last year), not even ground staff. Here there would be people, kids peeping from nearby walls. I don't want to comment much but we saw how the IPL went off smoothly in UAE in 2020 and then it started in India this year with cases on the rise," Saha was quoted as saying by the news agency PTI.
