IPL 2021 To Resume On September 19 In UAE, Final On October 10: Reports
Mumbai: As reported by Sports Today, the Indian Premier League 2021 is expected to resume on 19 or 20 September and run in the UAE by 10 October.
The remaining 31 matches of IPL 2021 will be divided into 10 double headers, 7 single headers and 4 playoffs, which will fit into the 21-day window that BCCI hopes to make before the ICC T20 World Cup.
There is a tremendous intention from all stakeholders to complete the IPL, the board is talking. Franchise owners, CEOs have confirmed this news to us. BCCI officials have confirmed off the record,” sports journalist Boria Majumdar said in his YouTube show for Sports Today.
“The BCCI will not ask the ECB to change the dates of the India-England series. The tour will conclude on 14 September.”
Reportedly, the players will undergo bubble-to-bubble transfer and quarantine for three days in the UAE after the England tour.
The report states that the Caribbean Premier League, to be held from 28 August to 19 September, will be re-adjusted. Owners of Kolkata Knight Riders and Trinbago Knight Riders being the same, they are expected to play a major role in the negotiations.
The BCCI will request for the termination of the CPL four-five days in advance, at about the same time as India’s tour of England ends.
The players involved in CPL too will undergo a bubble to bubble transfer to Dubai.
The IPL 2021 was suspended in the first week of May due to a rise in cases of COVID-19 within the bio-bubbles. IPL 2020 was held in UAE due to COVID spread in India.
