“It was differently different to play half of the tournament. Looks like it is moving forward to the UAE, it was held very nicely last year there. If I’ll get a chance I’ll be looking forward to finish that campaign off myself,”

“I suppose things obviously escalated pretty quickly over there. I made the decision to come home and get a bit of time with family,”

“Very grateful in the first place to be involved in the IPL to get an opportunity to play on that stage. What happened was unfortunate, I’m glad that I got out safely and can move forward now.”
