Indian Premier League to be played in September this year
New Delhi/UNI: The 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played between September 19 and November 8 in the UAE.
The IPL Governing Council chairman, was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo that the final could be played on November 8 or 10, with a definitive decision expected soon.
Even as the BCCI has set the ball rolling for relocating the IPL to the UAE, it still needs the nod of the Indian government.
Earlier this week Patel had said that the permission "will come" and had confirmed Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah will be the three main venues for the tournament.
He further said that key points including the schedule along with the contours of what a biosecure bubble would comprise would be finalised and communicated to the franchises soon.
With the final on November 8 or 10, the Indian players will also have enough time to quarantine for two weeks in Australia for the Test series scheduled to start on December 3 in Brisbane.
