In a significant development, Cricket Australia announced its backing for players deciding whether to join the Indian Premier League (IPL) as it restarts, despite it overlapping with the preparations for the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) scheduled the IPL to resume on May 17, concluding on June 3, leading to a scheduling conflict with the WTC final between Australia and South Africa beginning on June 11 at Lord's.
Cricket Australia assured players it will respect their individual decisions and indicated close communication with governmental and BCCI officials for travel and security arrangements amid ongoing tensions.
