The schedule for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 is set to be announced on Thursday (February 22) at 5 PM. The fixtures will be announced during a live show on Star Sports and JioCinema.
Earlier, IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed that the tournament will begin on March 22 and will be entirely held in India despite the tournament coinciding with general elections.
“We are looking at a March 22 start for the tournament. We are working closely with the government agencies and we will first release the initial schedule,” Arun Dhumal told PTI.
The chairman revealed that only the first 15 days schedule of the IPL will be initially announced, with the remainder fixtures to the release after the announcement of election dates.
