I guess the tournament is in trouble. So long as the pandemic is escalating, I am not sure too many want to be risking it. Also heard in the past few days that two umpires pulled out of the IPL, methinks concern about Covid-19 was cited.

I was wondering what'll happen, especially to the Aussies since I saw Australia was seriously clamping down on travel. They may have to stay in India all the way until the T20 World Cup in October! In fact, I wonder if the World Cup is at risk?

The fallout from the Covid-19 cases - confirmed and suspected - within the IPL bubble was felt through the day on Monday. The Delhi Capitals, the last team to play against the Kolkata Knight Riders - two of their players have tested positive - have been asked to isolate themselves at their hotel in Ahmedabad. In Delhi, neither the Mumbai Indians nor the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are scheduled to play each other on Tuesday, trained at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground after suspected positive cases among the ground staff.

Monday started with the IPL confirming that the Knight Riders' Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier had tested positive in Ahmedabad, and cancelled their match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, scheduled for Monday. Within hours, in Delhi, the Chennai Super Kings had reported three positive cases including that of Laxmipathy Balaji, who was in the dugout during Saturday's match against the Mumbai Indians.

Not a bad team you can make up from the 11 Safars we have returning from the IPL.

Might be a bit light in the batting with Coetzee in at 6, but I'll play them as is :) Can't do much worse than the current team :) Lots of depth in that pace attack ....
 
Talk that they will look to resume the tournament in September. Might not be a bad thing with the T20 World cup in October.

Unless they resume in the UAE , I doubt if players will take the chance of continuing the IPL in India prior to the WC. WC also need to move to the UAE

Yeah very true. Either way, for the players it will be good to shake off the rust. Particularly the southern hemisphere ones will be coming home to Winter. I'm sure the English based ones will slot back into their local comps.
