On Sunday, Union Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju said that I hope that the sporting activities that were halted due to coronavirus outbreak will resume soon. Let us tell you that the COVID-19 epidemic has greatly impacted the sports world. All sporting events in India have been halted since the coronavirus outbreak. Now things are slowly returning back to normal. The players have been allowed to practice with instructions by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Rijiju said, "I want sports activities to start as soon as possible. I sincerely hope that in the next few months we will be ready for some events. But at the same time Rijiju said that the health and safety of the players are paramount."
Rijiju said this during an Instagram live chat with table tennis player Manika Batra. He said, "Millions of people are involved with sports. I am trying that not only the top player but every player can return to the field. But it will take some time to start the game."
The Board of Control for Cricket in India had postponed IPL 2020 starting on March 29 in view of the threat from Corona. Board President Sourav Ganguly said a few days ago that till now there has been no discussion on getting it done. By the way, there are reports of it being organizing outside India. On Saturday, the UAE expressed interest in hosting the tournament.
