BCCI Asks English Board To Reschedule Tests With Eye On IPL Window
NDTV
The Indian cricket board wants to reschedule the five-match Test series in England so it finishes a week earlier than planned so a window can be made to hold the remainder of IPL 2021.
The Board of Cricket Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has written to their English counterparts asking for the Test series between India and England to be rescheduled to start a week earlier than planned with an eye on creating a window for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season. The BCCI wants the five match Test series in the UK to begin a week before the original date for the first Test -- August 4. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is yet to respond to the BCCI request. The BCCI wants the final Test to end by September 7 so a window can be created before the T20 World Cup in October-November for the IPL 2021 to finish. The final Test is currently scheduled to finish on September 14.More Related News
