In view of the ever-increasing cases of Coronavirus, the Indian government has imposed a 21-day lockdown across the country till 14 April. Even after this, if the situation is not normal then it can be increased. The BCCI had decided to postpone the IPL till April 15, but at present, it is difficult to organize.
Former IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla said on Thursday, it is impossible to start the league's 13th season after April 15. We are hearing that the lockdown period may increase in the country. In this situation, if you think IPL can happen after April 15, then it is not possible. He said that our priority now is to fight against Corona. People have to be saved. It will all depend on the government. Asked if foreign players would be able to participate in the tournament, he said that no match is possible in the current situation. Anyway, there is a ban on the arrival of foreigners in India.
A few days ago, such information was given by the BCCI that if the ICC T20 World Cup will not held in October, then IPL can be held. This time the T20 World Cup is to be played in Australia but in the current situation it is difficult to organize.
