Australia's ODI skipper Aaron Finch has said that his country's cricketers risk getting a massive financial jolt if the IPL and their home season are halted by the COVID-19 pandemic but they have to accept the situation as "we're all in this together".

Cricket Australia has already said that it may review the NOCs given to the players for IPL and now the government has imposed unprecedented travel restrictions, which are likely to jeopardise the Australian players' participation in the postponed T20 league. The event which was to start on March 29, has now been set for April 15.

"That's the risk you take when you have the revenue-share model, when the organisation takes a hit then so do we. We understand we're all in this together," Finch told radio station SEN.

"I'm sure in the long run, everything will be back to normal at some stage. It's just hard to say when."
"But it's just about making sure everyone around you personally is safe and you're doing everything you can to stop the spread."
