The Indian government is yet to give a go ahead for shifting the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) to UAE. It’s been more than 10 days since the Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI) has applied for the government permissions. But the concerned ministries are yet to give the green signal to the league in UAE. Without the government permissions, neither the league dates can be officially announced or schedules can be finalized. Even the official paperwork with the Emirates Cricket Board is also pending without the go ahead from the Indian government.
The BCCI is in complete fix at this stage. The franchise, broadcaster and other stakeholders are ‘getting jittery’ with each passing hour. Neither the BCCI or any other stakeholder involved can finalize the logistics for the league which is just 48 days away. Without the official nod from the government, now there will be even question mark over the relevance of the IPL Governing Council meeting scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
“We were expecting that all permissions will come in before the end of this week but now it seems it will take few more days to get the nod from the government. It’s a mammoth task to shift the entire tournament to UAE. Whole lot of logistics has to be planned. It’s getting more challenging with everyday. But hopefully we should get official permissions soon”, said one of the senior BCCI functionary.
