Cummins, the fast-medium pacer from Australia, will not travel to the UAE to compete in IPL 2021 remaining matches for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

The 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been rescheduled to take place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the month of September-October this year, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the new schedule on Saturday.
“It is inevitable that we have to cut some of these guys some slack. However, the intention of allowing players from Bangladesh time off in order to play cricket elsewhere isn’t to have them go and play cricket elsewhere “ESPNcricinfo quoted Giles as saying, according to the AFP report.
He concluded, “It’s imperative that we manage our schedules so we can get our guys in top form for the T20 World Cup and the Ashes.”
the BCCI announced Saturday that the remaining matches of the 2021 IPL season will be played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
A company release read that the tournament had been relocated to the UAE for the duration of the monsoon season in India, which spans from September to October.
The vote to resume the IPL was unanimous, with all members participating in a virtual SGM that took place on the Saturday prior to the SGM.
