The edition has the remaining 31 matches, which will now be divided into 10 double headers, 7 single headers and 4 playoffs. These unfinished matches are likely to fit into the 21-day window.
The franchise source said that the plan is yet to complete as per the availability of all players. “We are confirmed that the tournament will start by September 18-19. The decision will be conveyed to the stakeholders in the SGM as well,” a Board official said.
An update on the availability of cricketers from Australia, England, New Zealand and the West Indians si awaited. Things need to be clarified with the WI as they will be busy with the Caribbean Premier League. The BCCI is trying to convince the West Indies Cricket Board to complete the CPL by September 15 so that their players can be available for the IPL.
The last Test match between India and England will wrap up on September 14 at Manchester and the players will likely leave for the UAE the next day by a charter flight. Soon after, the officials planned for a three-day quarantine in the bubble-to-bubble transfer. Parallel to this, the BCCI has put the proposed T20I against South Africa scheduled on hold in September.
