BCCI has identified UAE and South Africa as back-up venues.
The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is tentatively scheduled to begin on March 27. While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is trying its best for the tournament to be organised in India, it has identified United Arab Emirates (UAE) and South Africa as back-up venues.
The Hindu understands that these aspects were informed to the representatives of all 10 franchises during a conference call on Saturday, soon after the BCCI officially announced the pre-auction signings of the Lucknow and Ahmedabad franchises.
“I am delighted to confirm that the 15th season of the IPL will start in the last week of March and will run until May end,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
