Alyssa Healy believes Australian players should get Australian government reassurance of safety in the Indian Premier League before they choose to return to the Twenty20 tournament, which has announced it will resume this weekend. The competition’s final 16 games will start on Saturday with the final now not due to be played until June 3, more than a week later than originally scheduled, following the announcement of a ceasefire between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan. That means it will start to clash with international cricket, and drastically shorten Australia’s preparation time for the world Test championship final, currently scheduled to begin on June 11 against South Africa at Lord’s. Six venues will be used, all in central and southern India, some distance from the border with Pakistan.
