The Indian Premier League (IPL) moves out of India after its schedule clashes with that of the polls. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) sources have told TIMES NOW that the tournament will under all probability be held in England, and that the other likely venue is South Africa.
The new host country of the Indian Premier League and the schedule of its 59 Twenty20 matches
will be out by Monday (March 23) evening, IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi said.
The decision to shift the Twenty20 tournament out of the country was taken at the BCCI's emergency Working Committee meeting on Sunday (March 22). The cash-rich event had run into rough weather because of security apprehensions.
BCCI after its meeting to resolve the IPL logjam said that they considered all aspects of staging IPL in India, but could not do so.
The league will be held either in South Africa or England after security apprehensions and owing to a clash of dates with the general elections, the organisers were forced to take the April 10-May 24 event out of India.
Lords and Oval are likely to be venues of the matches if England hosts the tournament. The BCCI said that the venues of the tournament would be announced in two or three days.
