Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa on Tuesday said he decided to quit the IPL midway as it was the "most vulnerable" bio-bubble he has been a part of and the tournament should have been held in UAE, like last year. Zampa and Kane Richardson, who were part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad, are set to fly back home later on Tuesday, having pulled out citing personal reasons. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, Zampa said he felt a lot safer in the UAE where the IPL was held last year. "We`ve been in a few (bubbles) now, and I feel like this is probably the most vulnerable. I just feel like because it`s India, we`re always being told about the hygiene over here and being extra careful... I just felt like it was the most vulnerable.

"The IPL that was held in Dubai six months ago didn`t feel that way at all. I felt like that was extremely safe. Personally, I feel like that would have been a better option originally for this IPL, but obviously, there`s a lot of political stuff that goes into it. "Obviously there`s the T20 World Cup that`s meant to be happening here later this year. That`s probably going to be the next discussion in the cricket world. Six months is a long time," said the leg-spinner. Zampa, who did not get a game this season after being bought for Rs 1.5 crore, said a lot of factors contributed to his decision to leave the IPL.
