How Is So Much Money Being Spent On IPL When People Aren’t Getting Hospitals: Andrew Tye
Mumbai: It seems the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) has been affected by the latest COVID19 surge in India. In addition, many are criticizing the BCCI for organizing a cash-rich league with COVID-19 in the midst of a dire situation in India.
India is currently witnessing more than 3 lakh cases in the last few days, even travel restrictions are being tightened for the country’s travellers abroad.

Andrew Tye has been one of the latest players to exit on Monday, with RCB also revealing that Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson will not be available for the remainder of IPL 2021. Tye stated that he was concerned about the safe passage back home and feared contracting the virus that has ravaged the country.
In addition, Andrew Tye also indicated that he is astonished by a philosophical question about whether the IPL should continue in this situation when patients are struggling to be admitted to hospitals. “From a player safety point of view, we’re safe now but is it going to stay safe?
“But looking at it from an Indian point of view, how are these companies and franchises spending so much money, and the government, on the IPL when there are people not being able to get accepted into hospital?” he said according to cricket.com.au.
So far, Stokes and Archer have been ruled out due to injuries, while Liam Livingstone cited ‘bubble fatigue’ to leave IPL. RR is now left with four overseas players, Buttler, Miller, Morris and Rahman in their squad.
