New Delhi: Mumbai Indians batsman Chris Lynn has informed that the players featuring in the ongoing Indian Premier League will be vaccinated for COVID-19 next week.<\/p>\n
Lynn has also informed that he has requested Cricket Australia (CA) to arrange a charter flight so that the Australia-bound players can fly home safely after the end of the tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cI texted back that as Cricket Australia make 10 per cent of every IPL contract, was there a chance we could spend that money this year on a charter flight once the tournament is over?\u201d Lynn told News Corp media.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know there are people worse off than us. But we are going from a really tight bubble and are getting vaccinated next week, so hopefully the government will let us get home on a private charter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
With the second COVID-19 wave rampant across the country, the Australia batsman said players signed knowing the \u201crisks\u201d but it would be good if they get home safely when IPL concludes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not asking for shortcuts and we signed up knowing the risks. But it would be great to get home as soon as the event is over,\u201d said Lynn.<\/p>\n
Australia and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pacer Pat Cummins on Monday informed he has donated to the PM-Cares fund to help purchase oxygen supplies for India\u2019s hospitals amid the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
Cummins also urged fellow players who are participating in the ongoing IPL to come forward and donate for the same. The Australian pacer has donated $50,000 to the PM-Cares Fund.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, India recorded 3,23,144 new COVID-19 cases and 2771 deaths in the last 24 hours, as per the latest update from union health ministry on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
