The Hindu
A total of 14 foreign players and support of MI have left India after the cash-rich tournament had come to a halt on May 4.
Five-time champions Mumbai Indians on Sunday said that all their foreign players and support staff have reached their respective destinations safely after the IPL 2021 was indefinitely suspended midway into the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The lucrative league was suspended last week after COVID positive cases were reported in its bio-bubble. “All foreign members of the MI contingent have reached their destinations safe & sound. Paltan, make sure you follow all safety protocols. Stay at home. Stay safe,” MI said in a message on its twitter handle.More Related News
