The International Cricket Council announced the cancellation of the Twenty-Twenty World Cup on Monday. After this decision of ICC, the way for BCCI to organize IPL between September and November was cleared.

Even before it can be organized abroad

However, BCCI Chief Sourav Ganguly has previously said that his priority is to organize in India. But this was not possible amidst the growing havoc of Corona virus.

This is not the first time the IPL will be held in the UAE. Earlier, during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the initial matches of the IPL were played in the UAE. The IPL Governing Council had already started talks with the UAE Cricket Board for the event.

Not much information has been officially revealed about the IPL yet, but all the franchises can reach UAE with their players a month in advance. Actually, Indian players have not practiced on the field for the last four months, so it may take three to four weeks to regain their old rhythm.
