Australian cricketers, coaches and commentators could finally exit hotel quarantine in Sydney on Monday after returning from a suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season in COVID-hit India.Due to travel restrictions imposed by Australia, the 38-member group (that included the likes of Steve Smith, Pat Cummins, David Warner, Ricky Ponting, Michael Slater, Glenn Maxwell etc.) flew to the Maldives after the tournament was postponed earlier this month. They quarantined on the island nation for two weeks before flying to Australia. Most had not seen their families since heading to the tournament in early April.Pacer Jason Behrendorff, who replaced Josh Hazlewood at Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was among the players to exit quarantine on Monday.“It was nice to know that we were getting home, that’s for sure,” Behrendorff told the media.“It’s always tough being stuck somewhere, and knowing that we’re able to get home was a relief, and now we’re out of quarantine, I can’t wait to get home and see my family.”Video of the day!
