The right-handed batsman has played 10 matches and scored 446 runs at an average of 26.23 in his Test career

According to a report in 9News early Tuesday morning, "Australian cricketers including David Warner and Steve Smith are now hoping to be flown home to India before borders shut."

In the 2020 edition of the league, Delhi Capitals was beaten by Mumbai Indians in the final at the Dubai Cricket Stadium.

Smith, who didn’t have a great season with the bat and also in leading the team, may struggle to get into the playing XI given the number of batsmen the last-year finalists have in their ranks.

Tom is delighted after being picked by Delhi Capitals in the auction and the all-rounder expressed his excitement to learn from Ponting during the IPL 2021.

This is the third time he is winning the prestigious medal. He was pipped by David Warner by one vote last year.

Apart from Smith, England's Moeen Ali, former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and Aussie Glenn Maxwell too have registered in the Rs 2 crore bracket.

The world body said the awards will recognise the best performances of both male and female cricketers across all forms of international cricket throughout the year.

Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Aaron Finch and Dale Steyn are among the players released by teams

Playing in his maiden Test series, Siraj grabbed 5 for 73 in the Australian second innings on Monday.
