IPL 2020 Updates – The Indian Premier League (IPL 2020 UAE) will be played in the UAE between 19 September and 10 November this year. Australia’s leg-spinner Adam Zampa has joined Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the tournament.
Zampa has replaced his own country player Ken Richardson at RCB. The required quarantine period of the RCB team has been completed and the players are now practicing on the field.
Richardson, 28, played for RCB in the 2016 IPL season. This time in the 2020 auction, Ken Richardson was once again bought by RCB for 4 crores.

Actually, Ken Richardson is about to become a father soon and wants to spend time with his family. For this reason, he has withdrawn his name from this tournament.
Zampa, who had a base price of INR 1.50 crore, was unsold in the IPL 2020 auction. His inclusion will strengthen the spin attack of the franchise, which has the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar, Pawan Negi, Moeen Ali, and Shahbaz Ahmed.
