Simon Doull bids emotional farewell to India

Former New Zealand fast bowler Simon Doull, who was part of IPL’s English commentary panel, wrote an emotional post as he left the country on Wednesday.

“Dear India, you have given me so much over so many years and I am sorry to be leaving you in such trying times. To those who are suffering my heart goes out to you and your families. Please do what you can to stay safe. Until next time take care. #india #cricket #love,” Doull tweeted on Wednesday.

The IPL 2021 was suspended mid-way on Tuesday. Several players from different IPL teams contracted the coronavirus.
