Following the Corona epidemic, major sporting events around the world, including the Olympics, have been canceled or suspended. Now that the decision has been made to extend the lockdown period in India, there has been an uproar over whether to suspend or cancel the IPL. "I will make a comment tomorrow about the future of the IPL after discussions with other officials of the Indian Cricket Board," said Ganguly, the president and former captain of the Indian Cricket Board.
In short, the Indian Cricket Board is expected to make an important decision on the IPL tomorrow. While Corona's release has been issued in India and the number of cases is increasing, the current circumstances have raised the question of IPL planning. The Indian Cricket Board had earlier suspended the IPL till April 7. Even the date is getting closer and the situation is not yet clear. In such a case, the board is likely to suspend or cancel the IPL.
BCCI President Ganguly also made it clear that while the life of the world has been halted due to corona, the future of sports is not visible. Some circles are expressing the possibility that the IPL will not be held this season due to the comment made by Ganguly in a media interaction. However, the BCCI may also announce the suspension of IPL in the coming months, with the hope of holding the IPL in the coming months.
Ganguly termed the current Corona situation as horrible, saying that in my 6 years I had never seen such a dreadful situation before. The world has never seen such a situation. I hope that in the future no one will face this situation. The whole world is currently thinking about how many people will die in the next two weeks?!? This is an unbelievable fact.
Ganguly is currently in his Kolkata residence. "In the lockdown, I am at my home like everyone else and spending time with my family," he said. I'm having a different experience than people who usually live at home. Generally, I am constantly traveling in terms of my work. Which has changed. I have been working for the Indian Cricket Board and ICC from home. I spend the rest of my time watching TV. In my home-made gym I try to keep myself fit by exercising.
"There is a lot to learn in life because of corona," Ganguly said, adding that this epidemic has taught that life is invaluable. So be happy, live each day with all earnestness. No one had ever imagined that something like this would happen. You should live a life that you enjoy.
Indian Cricket Board awaits Government's decision
New Delhi: Given the current situation of the Indian Cricket Board, the IPL does not seem to take the risk of planning. Even though the eyes of cricketers and fans around the world have been focused on this hyperfile tournament, waiting for the board to make a decision is increasing. Board sources said, "At present, we are waiting for the government's decision." Earlier, the government of India had announced the lockdown decision with all flights being closed till April 7. As a result, the board also announced that the IPL will be postponed till April 7. Now we have a look at what the Government of India declares. Based on the Government of India decision, the BCCI will announce the next decision. The IPL, which has earned huge sums of cricketers and cricket boards around the world, is currently being suspended. Most foreign players around the world have favored playing IPL in closed stadiums without an audience. However, this type of planning does not seem feasible in the current state of corona epidemic. The BCCI has planned for the future IPL, however, it remains to be seen how the ICC makes its decision on the T-2 World Cup in Australia in October. IPL planning can be possible if the T-1 World Cup is canceled, though it is important to tackle the epidemic first.
