Australia is sure that the 2021 Indian Premier League (IPL) will be a great series for their players. Ahead of the T20 World Cup, said chairman of selectors, George Bailey. Both competitions will be played within the UAE, with the World Cup beginning two days after the IPL last.
“We absolutely have full trust that the IPL will be good prep,” Bailey told reporters.
Bailey said that the Australian hierarchy hopes that the IPL franchises select their players more often in the tournament. The 2021 IPL was postponed halfway through its group stage in April. Due to multiple Covid-19 cases coming up with the tournament bio-bubbles in Ahmedabad and New Delhi. It will now resume on September 19 in the UAE.
“We’re throwing a bit of faith in the franchises that they will pick our players. So they are getting those games and bat and bowl them in the exact roles. That we’d like them to for the Australian team, that would be also great. But I’m not sure we’ll get any say in that,” he added
Australia’s T20
Most of Australia’s T20 regulars have not had as well much coordinate hone over the final two months. This, coupled with the vulnerability around the country’s residential plan implied. hat the selectors had to be adaptable with their determination.
“We don’t know what the domestic schedule is going to look like, so we’ve got to be flexible around what cricket guys can play. When you look through that squad, it’s an experienced T20 list so I don’t think not having played T20 cricket for a little period of time will affect them,” said Bailey.
“Like any ICC event, there will be a couple of warm-up games. And one of the advantages of taking a slightly bigger squad (of 18 players) is that you can manufacture some scenarios in center-wicket (practices), game-like scenarios,” he said.
