The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president, Sourav Ganguly has made a big announcement regarding the 13th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Let us tell you that IPL 2020 has been postponed indefinitely due to Coronavirus and it is not yet decided when the IPL will be held this year. However, Ganguly has confirmed that the IPL will be played in India.
Till now there were reports that IPL 2020 could be held abroad. The BCCI also received offers from the three big countries to host the IPL, but the board has not yet agreed, as the BCCI is currently awaiting the ICC's decision on the fate of the T20 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Sourav Ganguly has said that BCCI would like to host the 13th edition of the IPL this year and his first priority is to host the tournament within the country. Ganguly has also said that we do not want the year 2020 to end without IPL. Ganguly has once again reiterated the board's desire to host IPL this year to bring back some kind of normalcy in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
Sourav Ganguly said, "We want to achieve this (IPL in India), as I said cricket needs to come back." Dada has said, "For us, this is the offseason right now, which has really helped. We finished the domestic season in March and then we had to cancel the IPL, which is the most important part of our domestic season. We want to host the IPL, because life needs to be normal and cricket needs to be normal again, but we have to wait for the ICC decision about the T20 World Cup. "
Ganguly further said, "If it doesn't happen in India because of Covid-19 because places like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai these are big teams in the IPL and at this stage, I don't think you can put your hand on heart and say that cricket will happen in these places."
