IPL 2020: SRH Captain David Warner says whether he will participate in the tournament

Australia opener David Warner, who represents SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has said that he would definitely participate in the cash-rich tournament in case the 2020 T20 World Cup is postponed.

Speculations on the postponement of 2020 T20 World Cup is even more rife after Cricket Australia itself raised doubts over hosting 16-teams on multiple venues over a course of almost 4 months.

"Look, there has been a lot of talk about the T20 World Cup being postponed, the challenges around getting every single nation that participates in the World Cup into Australia, given the fact that we have the quarantine for 14 days. Nevertheless, making sure we are restricting the chances of a Covid-19 outbreak back into Australia. Those restrictions are in place with the Australian government at the moment. We have to obviously abide by those rules and obviously we await the decision from the ICC.

"And if it is unlikely if the World Cup can't go ahead, then I am very sure and positive that we will be able to come and play in the IPL if that replaces the World Cup schedule. If that permits us from Cricket Australia giving the go-ahead to go over there, I am sure we will put our hands up and come and play cricket which at the end of the day is what we love.

"Look, most definitely all the players who have been selected and picked in the auction will put their hand up if we are permitted. One we have to get government clearance as well to travel.

"If Cricket Australia allows us to go over there and participate, I am sure the guys will definitely be on board with that to be back up and running and playing cricket again," " David Warner said on India Today's show 'Inspiration'.
