NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Australia speedster Pat Cummins understands how grim India's battle is against the COVID-19 crisis in the country but does not think suspending Indian Premier League (IPL) play will help, the Kolkata Knight Riders player said.

Three of his compatriots have cut short their IPL stints to return home as India continues to record more than 300,000 new infections a day, with the actual figures believed to be much higher.
