XtraTime Web Desk: Mumbai Indian’s attacking Australian opening batsman Chris Lynn reached Abu Dhabi on Tuesday morning to play the 13th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2020). Lynn went straight into quarantine after reaching the hotel.
Lynn is coming after featuring in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL T20) where he represented for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The Australian could join Mumbai Indians early as his team failed to qualify for the knock out stages.
Mumbai Indians also informed that Kiwi pacer Trent Boult and Australian speedster, James Pattinson, who was signed as a replacement for veteran Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga, had joined the team last week.
The reigning IPL champions, led by Rohit Sharma, will take on Chennai Super Kings in the opener of the cash-rich T20 league on September 19 at Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The IPL this season has been moved out of India due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The matches will be played across three venues in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. The final will be played in Dubai on November 10.
