BCCI will continue to monitor the situation on the possible IPL start date
With an eye toward the coronavirus outbreak and the need to maintain social distancing and stay indoors, the Cricket Board of Control in India (BCCI) officially announced Thursday that the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League has been suspended until new notice.
The Board will also continue to receive guidance from the Government of India, state governments and other state regulatory bodies.
The 13th edition of IPL was due to start on March 29 and end on May 24, but was first postponed until April 15 after an increase in positive cases of coronavirus in the country.
The possible window remaining for the BCCI to host the league this year is from September to November. But for that to happen, India will have to skip the Asian Cup organized by the PCB in Dubai or Cricket Australia and the International Cricket Council decides to forgo the T20 World Cup to create a window.
