Cummins also said that he has been advised that the Indian government supports the continuation of the IPL and believes that in this difficult time it provides ‘some hours of pleasure.
He made the announcement in a statement on his official Twitter handle and requested other top players to do the same as the country is battling the second wave of the Covid-19 epidemic.

Cummins has also appealed to all the players playing in the IPL to come forward and help. Four foreign players have returned home due to fear of Corona, including Liam Livingstone, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa, and Kane Richardson.
