South African all-rounder Chris Morris has backed the decision of the BCCI to suspend the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 midway due to the rising cases of Covid-19 in its bio-bubble. Morris said that the decision is disappointing but suspending the tournament is the ‘safest thing to do’ as of now. There’s a lot of people going through a lot at the moment, and that is probably the safest thing to do. Let everyone at home or in India focus on beating COVID because that’s the most important thing,” said Morris. Stay at home; as soon as we beat this thing, we will be up and running again, and we will finish off with the IPL.
