NZ players available for full IPL season

Mumbai, Nov 12:
In a significant development, New Zealand Cricket has allowed their players to take part in the entire duration of the next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
An announcement to this effect was made today by James Wear, GM Commercial, New Zealand Cricket, at a special interaction arranged by official broadcasters of IPL, Star Sports.
“One of the things New Zealand Cricket has decided is to allow its players to play in the Indian Premier League right till the end of the IPL,” Wear told a select group of reporters here.
“So we are keen to give our guys as much experience playing all around the world as possible so that they get a great experience by playing in the IPL,” explained Wear on the reason behind the Kiwi cricket board’s decision even with the ICC World Cup following shortly after the conclusion of the T20 league.
His announcement comes in the wake of reports that the cricket boards of Australia and England are not to allow their players to figure in IPL12 till its conclusion because of the 2019 ICC World Cup, which is beginning in May-end in England. (PTI)
