Kingston: All the Caribbean players, who participated in the currently postponed Indian Premier League, have reached home following concerted efforts by the BCCI and their respective franchises, Cricket West Indies CEO Johnny Grave has said.
The IPL had to be postponed on May 4 after multiple Covid-19 cases came to light inside the tournament's bio-bubble which wasn't as foolproof as the last edition in the UAE.
"Our IPL players, along with the West Indians who were part of the TV production, are now safely back in the Caribbean.

We are grateful to the @BCCI and IPL Franchises for arranging their safe travel back to the Caribbean so quickly."

"Our IPL players, along with the West Indians who were part of the TV production, are now safely back in the Caribbean. We are grateful to the BCCI and IPL Franchises for arranging their safe travel back to the Caribbean so quickly," Cricket West Indies tweeted.
