Mitchell Johnson gave a surprising statement about IPL
Mitchell Johnson said that not playing in the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League will be a brain decision. The fast bowler believes that more importance than salary is of life. There was a military struggle between India and Pakistan after the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam and the world’s largest league was discontinued after that. A day after its suspension, there was a ceasefire between the two countries and now many foreign players have come to India again to play in IPL. However, Johnson is not happy with the players’ decision.
He wrote in his column for West Australia, ‘Cricket Australia has given the players the right to take their decisions, but it may be difficult for them to select the options.’ Johnson further said, ‘If I have to decide whether to return to India and finish the tournament, then it will be an easy decision. I would like to answer this. Life and security are the most important thing, no money.
Players should not play IPL under pressure – Mitchell Johnson
Johnson further said that the players should not come under pressure from anyone. This should be a personal decision. Johnson even advised that the IPL should be closed immediately. According to Johnson, if the players continue to play IPL till June 3, then it will also affect the preparations for the World Test Championship final.
The thing to note here is that Mitchell Johnson himself has played 7 seasons of IPL and during this time he has earned around Rs 27 crore. But now he is making such a statement for other players.
