Eng - Aus cricketers, set to miss the first week of IPL 2020

-
As per the protocols set by both BCCI and UAE Government, a player should clear two COVID_19 Tests Negative before reaching UAE and after arriving UAE, he needs to undergo quarantine for a week's period of time, in which he would be undergoing 3 tests on Days 1, 3 and 6 respectively. After clearing all these tests Negative, fifth day of each and every week, COVID_19 tests will be undergone. This procedure is followed not only in India but also it is mandatory for Overseas Cricketers.

As there were series between England and Australia, which would be concluded on September 16. But, each and every IPL Franchise sent a request to BCCI, as moving from one bubble to another bubble won't cause issues. Also, they asked to carry their previous test results from their country and after arriving UAE, they wanted to start off directly. Meaning that, they won't be a part of 7 day quarantine period, as they have been under bio bubble for weeks at their country. 

But, this request has been neglected by the BCCI, as this is mandatory to maintain strict protocols. Number of cases in each country vary due to many reasons. Hence, taking such risks isn't encouraged. So, cricketers from Australia and England won't be available during the first week of IPL 2020.

There is a total of 28 cricketers from both the teams with 17 from Australia (1 retired) and 11 from England cricketing nations, getting participated in this year's IPL.

Chennai Super Kings - Sam Curran(ENG), Hazlewood(AUS), Watson(AUS)(Retired) 

Mumbai Indians - Chris Lynn(AUS), Coulternile(AUS)

Royal Challengers Bangalore - Moeen Ali(ENG), Finch(AUS), Josh Phillippe(AUS), K. Richardson(AUS)

Rajasthan Royals - Archer(ENG), Butler(ENG), T.Curran(ENG), Steve Smith(AUS), Ben Stokes(ENG), A.Tye(AUS)

Kolkata Knight Riders - Pat Cummins(AUS), Green(AUS), Gurney(ENG), Eoin Morgan(ENG), T. Banton(ENG)

Kings XI Punjab - Chris Jordan(ENG), Glenn Maxwell(AUS)

Sunrisers Hyderabad - Bairstow(ENG), Mitchell Marsh(AUS), Stanlake(AUS), David Warner(AUS)

Delhi Capitals - Alex Carey(AUS), Jason Roy(ENG), Stoinis(AUS)

Except Watson, all the other players would not be participating during the first week of this year's IPL. A recent news came out is that Dishant Yagnik, the fielding coach of Rajastan Royals, have been tested COVID 19 Positive. He was kept in an isolation and he needs to undergo the fourteen day quarantine period and then he need to clear two tests. 

Players of CSK has arrived Chennai for a small five day training camp before heading towards UAE in August 22. Mumbai Indians' cricketers have also begun their camp at Mumbai. 

It is expected that in the upcoming days, the news about the Title Sponsorship of IPL along with the IPL Schedule announcement is on !.

A decade 2010 - 2019 has been ended just 5 days ago. This decade marked much more important changes, important developments, and also much drawbacks.  Particularly in India's point of view, many difference had happened.  Governments have changed, people's mindset have changed and even some prominence were died.  At 2010, during the start of the decade, India's Prime Minister was Dr.Manmohan Singh, and the National Congress Party was the ruling government then.

India had only one Cricket WorldCup in their hands and IPL was just been
