Indian Premier League and Cricket News by IPL Cricket Forum

Michael Hussey will not be available for the Twenty20 Champions League due to Australian National Schedule. This saves him from a situation where he might have to play against his home team in the said League.

Though Michael Hussey initially preferred to play for his Native state of Western Australia in the upcoming Twenty20 Champions League, IPL Chief Lalit Modi insisted that IPL Franchisees will have the first choice for Players.

As both Western Australia and Chennai Super Kings have qualified for the Champions League it was a definite embarrassment for Hussey as he would have to play against his home team if Chennai Super Kings claimed him for their team. However, he himself was quoted saying that rules were rules and even if he considered himself a native, born and bred ‘Western Australia Boy’ he will go with the rules and play happily for Chennai.
