According to him, life is more important than salary. The world’s largest league was closed after the military battle between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. A day after suspension, ceasefire was announced between the two countries and now many foreign players have returned to India. However, Johnson is not happy with this decision.

Life and security are the most important things, no money. Preparations for the World Test Championship will be influenced, Johnson further said that players should not come under pressure from anyone. It must be a personal decision.
