The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season is truly upon us and the tournament is just three days away. The opener will be contested between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium. With Australian players being involved in the ongoing series against Pakistan, chief mentor of the franchise, David Hussey has provided a big update on the availability of Pat Cummins and Aaron Finch. "Well, it is a concern, you want your best players available, but international cricket should be the para-limit.

He was named captain by KKR team management ahead of pacer Pat Cummins, who leads the Australian Test side.
