Mumbai: The most decorated cricket league in the World, the Indian Premier League (IPL), is finally going to commence this year. Every year, the IPL season starts in summer. However, this year, it has been delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
There were rumours that the IPL won’t take place this year, but now the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that it will take place with some changes and restrictions. BCCI planning to shift IPL to UAE?
The BCCI has reportedly fixed the window as September 26 to November 8 for IPL 2020, a tournament which generates a massive tally of income for the board. However, it has also emerged that the host broadcasters are unhappy that BCCI has not extended the extravaganza till Diwali weekend (November 14).

With the Chinese Virus pandemic began exploding in the country, resulting in postponing it indefinitely. With no clarity on its betterment in India, the BCCI plans to stage it in UAE to avoid substantial monetary losses.
