Earlier this week, the BCCI had zeroed in on the United Arab Emirates as he venue for the 13th edition of the cash-rich tournament after contemplating a lot about hosting the same in India, but failed to do so because of the increasing coronavirus pandemic cases in the country.
The Emirates Cricket Board and Sri Lanka Cricket, had approached the BCCI with the offer of hosting the IPL, stating that they had the required infrastructure for it. With the ICC postponing the Men’s World T20 World Cup – originally scheduled to be held from October 18 to November 15 – a window opened for IPL to be held.
