No Travel Exhaustion, Feel Fortunate To Play IPL: MI's Trent Boult

While the country is in the grip of the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic, the cricketers participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) feel relieved as they are not being asked to travel every othe

Although teams will travel the travel will be much lesser than what it used to be till 2019. "It has been enjoyable. To be in the room and unpack and just concentrate on the task at hand. In previous IPLs, we played one night, traveled the other day.. it was very challenging," said Mumbai Indians' New Zealand pace bowler Trent Boult.

Boult said that while it is a sad and tough situation for most others living in the country, he and other cricketers consider themselves lucky to be able to play the game during these times.

"[It is] Pretty tough for other people. We are fortunate to be playing cricket at this point in time. Great that tournament has been running," added Boult.

Even during the IPL 2020 edition in the UAE, South African cricketer Chris Morris had said that he enjoyed it since there was no air travel involved.
