IPL brings about a sense that everything is back to normal: Kumar Sangakkara

MCC president Kumar Sangakkara opened up on the return of cricket post the Covid-19 hiatus, Sourav Ganguly's candidature of ICC chairman's post and what IPL brings to the table for cricketers and administrators across the world.

"Yeah, it’s extremely encouraging that cricket has resumed and restarted the way it has. I think there has to be huge appreciation when it comes to the efforts that have been taken by the broadcasters, by the ECB and the West Indies cricket board and all those involved in making that series possible. The arrangement would never have been easy," Sangakkara said on India Today Inspiration.

"IPL is a form of escapism when things are down and out in our part of the world over the years, when you watch a cricket match on TV or at the ground, it kind of brings about a sense that everything is back to normal and then life is actually normalised," Sangakkara added.
