Foreign cricketers, including Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, playing in the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) are getting increasingly desperate to get out of India due to a worsening Covid-19 wave. In their bid to leave India, they wouldn't mind taking a detour to reach their homes.
Maxwell showed this desperation to leave India as quickly as possible after the IPL, when he said that he wouldn't mind taking the same charter flight that would take the India and New Zealand players to England for the World Test Championship (WTC) final, scheduled in June, on the way to Australia.

"We just want to find a way to go home. The BCCI [Board of Control for Cricket in India], both governments [India and Australia] can work a solution. If we have to wait a bit longer, so be it but there is a way to get home at some stage," Maxwell told the 'The Final Word Podcast'.
Maxwell didn't hide his emotions. "India and England are going to play in England. Worst comes to worst, we have to wait in England and try and find a way out in that chartered [flight] and get out of India. I am sure a lot of guys will try and put their hand up in trying to do that as well," he said, hinting that he was willing to bide his time in England rather than in India.
"Once IPL finishes and potentially the bubble will be broken, you don't want to be stuck here, just try and look for the safest way to move on," he told the podcast, conducted by Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins.
