Hello guys. Welcome to the live coverage of the IPL 2020 schedule. After much anticipation and wait, the IPL 2020 schedule will be released today. Don’t miss out to make the dates of your favourite team!
IPL Governing Council chairman Brijesh Patel declared yesterday that the IPL 2020 matches will take place simultaneously in all 3 venues of UAE as all issues in regard to the protocols of different Emirates in UAE have been sorted.
According to Patel, IPL matches will take place simultaneously in all 3 venues of Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi right from the word go.
Patel said, ‘‘Yes, the fixtures will be out on Sunday. There will be matches in all three venues of Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi from the start.’’
Meanwhile IPL GC will release the schedule of IPL 2020 on Sunday. InsideSport already has informed its readers after entire Chennai Super Kings squad tested negative in the last test, they are all clear to play the opening game of IPL 2020 against the defending champions Mumbai Indians.
IPL 2020 : BCCI President & sec Jay Shah will reach Dubai on 8th September
Meanwhile, former Indian captain and president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah are scheduled to arrive on September 8 as the preparations for the IPL reaches its final stages. Other than these two it is expected that BCCI’s treasurer Arun Dhumal will also travel to Dubai for IPL 2020.
Due to restrictions on movement inside the bio-safety bubble during the IPL, the BCCI has decided against inviting state association officials to the UAE for at least the first half of the tournament. Usually, state unit presidents and secretaries are present on the inaugural day, other than the play-offs and final. The BCCI hopes to have them over for the later stages.
In a letter to the state associations, BCCI secretary Jay Shah had earlier written to them, “Restriction on physical presence is the best way to avoid contracting and spreading the deadly virus and after a long-fought battle, this is yet another sacrifice that we are forced to make.”
