when most Indian players are restricting themselves to talk about Rihanna’s tweets, it took someone from Australia to raise questions, that matter.
very sure, Shah jr will ensure Tye won’t be picked up  at the next auction.

The ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is getting affected with overseas players pulling out of the tournament fast. Moreover, many are criticising the BCCI for conducting the cash-rich league amidst the serious situation in India with COVID-19. India is currently witnessing more than 3 lakh cases over the last few days even as the travel restrictions are being tightened overseas for travellers from the country.
 

Andrew Tye has been one of the latest players to pull out while on Monday, RCB also revealed that Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson won’t be available for the rest of the IPL 2021. Tye stated that he was concerned about the safe passage back home and feared contracting the virus that has ravaged the country.

Moreover, Andrew Tye also indicated that he is baffled with a philosophical question about whether the IPL should continue at all in this situation when the patients are struggling to get admitted to hospitals. “From a player safety point of view, we’re safe now but is it going to stay safe?

“But looking at it from an Indian point of view, how are these companies and franchises spending so much money, and the government, on the IPL when there’s people not being able to get accepted into hospital?” he said according to cricket.com.au.
