Warner will play in IPL if it happens, says manager
Swashbuckling Australian opener David Warner intends to play in the 13th IPL if it happens this season, his manager said Thursday, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continued to wreak havoc on the world.
The IPL was suspended last week till April 15 and there are also doubts if the lucrative tournament will happen at all, owing to the coronavirus pandemic that has so far claimed over 9000 and infected more than 2,00,000 across the world.
The Australian government has also issued an indefinite level-four travel ban, stopping any person from travelling outside the country.
However, Warner's manager James Erskine said the Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper could play if the cash-rich league takes place.
"If the IPL is on David Warner's planning on going," Erskine was quoted as saying by 'The Age'.
"If things change dramatically, which can happen in the space of an hour, the answer is you change your mind. It's no different to everybody else."
