Mumbai: The 14th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been canceled halfway due to strong Kovid expansion. Only 29 matches were played in the tournament, which included 60 matches, including the final. There are 31 matches left. The BCCI has stated that the tournament has not been completely canceled and that the rest of the tournament will take place in September. If the tournament is canceled completely, the BCCI will lose over Rs 2,500 crore. That is why the BCCI is thinking of all possible ways to complete the tournament.


 However, former Indian opener and presenter Aakash Chopra has said that the T20 World Cup is scheduled to be held in October and November, and that it will not be easy to complete the remaining matches of the IPL before then.


'Honestly, finishing the IPL before the T20 World Cup is not easy. There are three or four big challenges ahead. The first problem was that all the players were brought to the venue to prepare the quarantine facility. This is not just for Indian players. The IPL is a global tournament. So there will be a lot of people in the quarantine, ”Akash said.


 The second issue Akash pointed out was the preparations for the T20 World Cup. All the countries participating in the World Cup will be preparing for this. Along with that there will be other matches for the teams. There is a series between Pakistan and England in September. That is why cricket boards may not be willing to let go of players. Akash also said that international matches cannot be postponed to play in the IPL.


 It is learned that the BCCI is also planning to complete the tournament in the UAE. But Akash says that is also difficult. Kovid prevalence is low in the UAE. That is why more concessions are available. But there are only three grounds here. "If the 31 matches are to be played on three grounds, when will the World Cup be held?" The BCCI is reportedly considering holding the T20 World Cup in the UAE under the current circumstances.
