English cricketer Ravi Bopara indefinitely postponed his trip to India for IPL

English cricketer Ravi Bopara has indefinitely postponed his trip to India for IPL due to security apprehensions, saying cricket meant everything to him but "it is not worth dying for".

Bopara, who was snapped at USD 450,000 by the Kings XI Punjab, was supposed to leave today to join the Mohali-based outfit for this year's Indian Premier League but the Essex cricketer backed out at the last moment, saying he was not sure if the risk was worth taking.

"Cricket is my living and in many way my life. But it is not worth dying for," Bopara was quoted as saying by the Mail on Sunday.

Ravi Bopara was worried with Reg Dickason's report in which the security expert raised some serious concerns. "This is a very tricky call. I have been in touch with the franchise and they are pretty positive that things will be OK.
