New Zealand Kane Williamson has said that “clearly there were some breaches” in the Indian Premier League (IPL) bio-bubble and that the BCCI took the “right decision” by indefinitely postponing the 14th season of the cash-rich league.
“Things escalated really quickly over in India and the challenges that way in that part of the world are heart-breaking to see,” Williamson said during a media interaction from the New Zealand team’s quarantine base in Southampton.
“We were very well looked after in the bubble for the first half of the tournament when things were still intact but clearly, there were some breaches,” the Kiwi skipper said.
“The tournament couldn’t continue and the right decisions were made, I believe that’s how things unfolded in the IPL,” said the batsman.
The New Zealand team is in England to play a two-Test series against the hosts starting at Lord’s on June 2. Later, the Kiwis will face the Virat Kohli-led India in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at Ageas Rose Bowl in Southampton from June 18.
