A lot of foreign players were involved in the lucrative T20 league and they will now face difficult challenges to return to their respective countries due to travel restrictions imposed in the wake of a deadly second wave of COVID-19 across India.

Australia, England, and New Zealand have already banned travelers from India including their own citizens and even Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced jail punishment if anybody tries to enter the country till May 15.

Many countries have also banned commercial flights from India that may cause more headaches to BCCI to arrange travel for the foreign players featured in the IPL 14.
