BCCI issues five potential dates for IPL 2020

There is little denying the fact that there is absolutely no clarity over the future of this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL). The BCCI, on Friday, suspended the league till April 15 in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. There is no confirmation over whether the IPL would start soon after April 15.

The IPL governing council held a meeting with the eight franchises on Saturday (March 14) and reportedly came up with five dates on which the league can start. According to the New Indian Express, the five dates are April 15, April 21, April 25, May 1 and May



5.

The aforementioned dates are five dates on which the league could start. The report further claimed that the franchises are confident of hosting the tournament in full if it begins anywhere before April 25.

However, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, on Saturday said that the IPL would be curtailed whenever it starts.

“It will happen, because if it is April 15, then, in any case, 15 days are gone, it has to be truncated. How truncated, how many games, I can’t say at the moment,” Sourav Ganguly told reporters.
