As per Cricket Australia’s NOC, no centrally contracted player can play IPL before April 6. But if they were to play in the Pakistan series which ends on April 5 with the one-off T20 on April 5, the players would have been out till April 11 as they are required to serve a five-day quarantine. To avoid that, players are ready to skip the Pakistan tour and arrive in India for IPL and serve quarantine, ready to play from April 6.
