MUMBAI: The
Indian Premier League
(
IPL
) governing council chairman
Brijesh Patel
on Tuesday confirmed that the 2020 edition of the tournament is shifting to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the
BCCI
has actually requested the government of India for an approval on the exact same.
TOI understands that the
Emirates Cricket Board
(ECB) hasn’t been “officially” informed on the matter yet as the stated official letter is pending. A governing council conference of the IPL is expected on July 24, following which an air of finality can dominate.
On the other hand, a day after the market echoed broadcasters Star India’s beliefs on the proposed schedule missing out on the Diwali week, it appears BCCI has other strategies to “accommodate” their biggest stakeholders.
The board is all set to allow following things: A) An early start to night matches, potentially slated to start at 7.30 pm
