New DelhI: The governing council of the Indian Premier League is likely to meet on August 1 to give a final shape to the schedule and discuss other arrangements for the eagerly-awaited IPL 2020 to be held in the UAE.
The tournament, forced out of the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will be held from September 19 to November 8. “The IPL governing council is likely to meet on August 1.
The meeting, expected to be attended by top BCCI brass, including president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah, would address concerns of various stakeholders. The tenures of both Ganguly and Shah are over but the two have sought a relaxation in the Lodha Committee-recommended cooling off norms from the Supreme Court, which will hear the matter on August 17. Also, most likely, this edition of the IPL would have less number of double-headers which would be beneficial for broadcasters.
