Before the IPL, many players refused to apply the Corona vaccine. It is reported that the IPL franchise had informally offered the vaccine to the players.
New Delhi. IPL 2021 has been postponed for 12 days after several players have been infected with Kovid-19, but its impact is still on the players. Sunrisers Hyderabad wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha has again been found to be Corona positive, while KKR’s fast bowler Krishna is currently quarantined at home. Chennai Super Kings batting coach Mike Hussey and bowling coach L Barrage were found negative a day ago. Hussey can now fly to Australia on Sunday. Meanwhile, there is news that during IPL 2021 there was a lack of awareness between the players and the support staff.
According to the news published in the Times of India, before the IPL, many players had refused to install the Corona vaccine. The players were informally offered the vaccine by the IPL franchise. Sources said, “Athletes were reluctant to get vaccinated not just because of them, but because of their lack of consciousness.” Some franchises were successful in persuading the players to get vaccinated, although their numbers were extremely small. Being aware of the fact that they may have a mild fever after vaccination, many athletes rejected proposals to apply the vaccine. The source said, “The players felt that the bio bubble they were in was so safe that they did not need to be vaccinated. The franchisee did not even promote it. Then things suddenly spiraled out of control.
In fact, foreigners were more aware of the vaccine, but they could not be vaccinated because it was not legal. Sources said, “Many foreigners, especially support staff, were enthusiastic about the vaccination, but they could not be vaccinated.” The reluctance to vaccinate was one of the problems, but many franchises felt that they were in a very dangerous state when they were sent to Delhi during the peak of the epidemic. Sources said, “Yes, we were on a charter flight, but the small private terminal was still filled with CISF and airline staff and there was no clue about their Kovid status.”
Riddhiman Saha and the famous Krishna have not been found corona negative yet and this is a matter of concern for India. Both players will have to report in Mumbai on 25 May. Then he will have to go through three negative tests before going to England for the final of the World Test Championship. At the same time, the negative report of Mike Hussey is going to give relief. CSK management is preparing to return Hussey without a quarantine period in Maldives. A source from CSK said, ‘Australia started its flight from India on 15 May, which is a bit reassuring. It was very stressful for him.
