The Australian cricketers are a shocking indictment on themselves and Australian cricket for still playing in India within the IPL when they should be treated like all other Australian citizens and should have been banned from going and then now banned from just returning to Australia as they left for non-urgent reasons.
Unlike AJ Tye, Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson, those still playing in the IPL should not be granted exemptions and should be put at the back of the queue to allow those with more humanitarian needs priority.
Like Kim Hughes’ 14 players who upon return from South Africa in 1985 wanted to play cricket again, they should be banned from playing cricket in Australia for three years.
How a money hungry, selfish and totally self centered group of Australian cricketers think they can just play cricket while more than 300K Indians die each day, shows a lack of good conduct.
Cricket Australia should cancel their contracts and start again with a group of players that the fan base can support.
Anyone supporting the IPL a playing Australian cricketers must have as much morality as they have.
