Posted by Wayne Walker | 15 Apr, 2020

Jamaica and West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell says it would be a major letdown for him if this season’s Indian Premier League T20 competition is canceled.

The 30-year-old Cottrell was picked up by the Kings Eleven Punjab for US$1 million for what is to be his first season in the T20 cricket’s biggest competition outside the World Cup.

However the competition was today suspended indefinately after the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended the period of suspension for social gathering in the country for a further month.

Cotterell told Nationwide Sports roday that he is ready for his debut season and is hoping for the best.

Unlike other major professional sporting leagues, the IPL contract is from season to season as opposed to a long term deal, which means if the competition is cancelled for this season he will need to keep him form to attract a similar contract for next season
