Australia has also banned all flights to India till May 15 in view of the coronavirus epidemic in India. Earlier Chris Lynn of Mumbai Indians asked Cricket Australia to make a chartered flight arrangement at the end of IPL for Australian cricketers participating in IPL 2021.

But now the Australian Prime Minister has announced that cricketers need to make their own arrangements. Scott Morrison told to “The Guardian”,

“They have travelled there privately under those arrangements, this wasn’t part of an Australian tour. They’re under their own resources and they’ll be using those resources too, I’m sure, to see them return to Australia in accordance with their own arrangements.”
