Mumbai & Ahmedabad-based players and support staff members will return home via Ahmedabad on a charter flight. The Cabin crew has completed 7 days quarantine at the team hotel in Delhi.
MI has consulted the concerned cricket boards through BCCI & updated them about the travel arrangements made for their respective players.
MI management will stay back in Delhi till all members of the MI contingent reach their respective destinations safely.
The well-being of players and all those involved in organizing IPL was one critical reason for the BCCI and the IPL Governing Council to unanimously decide to suspend IPL on Tuesday, May 4th.
