Coming back to the Coronavirus issue, Warne was recently lambasted on Twitter when he tagged a whole host of current and former cricketers while enquiring about whether the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League is getting postponed or not.
“Another question followers as I just received a very interesting message !!!! Is it true the @BCCI are postponing the @IPL @imVkohli @MichaelVaughan @KP24 @virendersehwag @rajasthanroyals @StarSportsIndia @ajinkyarahane88 @Edged_and_taken @imkuldeep18 @BCCIdomestic @RickyPonting” Warne wrote.
Warne’s query came minutes before the news arrived that the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League has been postponed till April 15th. The 13th edition has been put under jeopardy due to COVID-19 threat and, given the situation improves by the time 15 April rolls around, the tournament will still be a curtailed one, as announced by BCCI President Sourav Ganguly after holding a meeting with the franchise owner.
