IPL 2021: Suspending tournament was the right decision, says Kane Williamson

New Zealand and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Kane Williamson said the players were well taken care of during their 13-day quarantine period in the Maldives. New Zealand players reached England for their 2-match Test series and the World Test Championship final in June.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson on Thursday said suspending Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 was the right decision, saying there were "obviously some breaches" in the bio-bubbles of franchises. The 14th edition of the tournament was suspended due to positive Covid-19 cases across bio-bubbles of multiple franchises on May 4. Kane Williamson was leading the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who were scheduled to take on Mumbai Indians on May 4. However, a positive Covid-19 case in their camp led to the suspension of IPL 2021. "Things escalated really quickly over in India and the challenges that way in that part of the world are heartbreaking to see," Williamson told a press conference.
