Webb
joined
the
Indian
team
in
2019
after
Shankar
Basu’s
stint
ended
following
the
ODI
World
Cup
but
he
is
now
ready
to
move
on
as
it
has
become
difficult
for
him
to
stay
away
from
his
family
for
too
long
in
this
post
COVID-19
World.

“In
saying
this,
I
have
recently
informed
the
BCCI
that
I
will
not
be
seeking
an
extension
of
my
contract
following
the
t20worldcup,”
Webb
wrote
on
his
Instagram
page
with
details
of
his
reason
to
quit
the
high
profile
job
after
two
years.

Webb
said
that
he
has
decided
to
put
his
family
first
with
stringent
health
protocols
in
place
for
New
Zealand
citizens
wanting
to
enter
the
country.

“This
has
not
been
an
easy
decision
but
ultimately
I
must
put
my
family
first.
The
current
COVID
restrictions
for
New
Zealand
citizens
wanting
to
enter
NZ
is
the
primary
reason,”
Webb
said.

Currently,
anyone
entering
New
Zealand
needs
to
do
institutional
quarantine
for
14
days.
“While
these
restrictions
may
ease
in
the
future,
the
uncertainty
of
this
happening
moving
forward
along
with
potential
5-8
month
stints
at
a
time
away
from
my
family
has
made
it
unsustainable
for
me
past
the
T20
World
Cup,”
Webb
said.

“I
am
not
sure
what
the
future
holds
for
me
at
the
moment
but
I
remain
excited.
One
thing
I’m
certain
of
is
that
I
will
be
doing
everything
I
can
to
guide
our
Indian
cricket
team
men
to
the
big
dance
at
the
T20
World
Cup.”

He
spoke
about
the
achievements
of
the
Indian
team
and
how
it
had
been
a
privilege
to
be
in
that
dressing
room.
“For
the
past
2+
years
I
have
had
the
privilege
and
honour
of
representing
India
and
Indian
cricket
team.
We
have
achieved
and
grown
a
lot
as
a
team
during
this
time.
As
a
team
we
created
history,
we
won
matches
and
we
lost
matches.

“But
how
we
continually
responded
and
adapted
in
the
face
of
many
challenges
along
with
everyone’s
willingness
to
compete
every
single
day
are
things
that
make
this
team
special.”

The
T20
World
Cup
will
get
underway
just
after
the
conclusion
of
the
ongoing
season
of
the
IPL.
While
the
IPL
2021
final
will
be
played
on
October
15,
the
World
Cup
will
begin
on
October
17th.
India
will
play
October
24th
against
Pakistan.
