Most Indian players and the extensive support staff will fly to New York on May 25, while the rest will leave for the T20 World Cup after the IPL final on May 26. Initially, players from teams that did not qualify for the playoffs were set to depart on May 21, two days after the last IPL league match on May 19. However, plans have changed, and now the first group will depart on May 25.
Team India Flight Schedule
“The likes of skipper Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh, Axar Patel are some of the players along with support staff who are expected to leave on May 25,” a BCCI source told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
“Earlier, the departure date for the first batch was May 21 but since India is playing only one warm-up game (vs Bangladesh on June 1), the players will get to spend some extra days at home,” the source added.
Only the players involved in the IPL final will stay back and will leave for New York on May 27.
