Breaking News IPL 2020 Postponed to April 15 Due to Coronavirus

An IPL governing council meeting is expected to take place in Mumbai on Saturday. Until that meeting, the Board's office-bearers and members of the Governing Council were required to consult with all league franchises and other main stakeholders to decide the path forward.
Nonetheless, given Covid-19's major danger at the moment, with the voices of concern, the BCCI has considered it prudent to move the announcement that the league can't start as per the current schedule. Right now, it puts the intense uncertainty to rest which has clouded the league right nearly a week now.
"The postponement allows BCCI time to re-evaluate the situation and provides it much more flexibility to take up a further call. The postponement will allow them to see whether the virus threat quickly stops, stays under check or gets worse. Depending on these situations and what the central and state governments suggest, a further call may be made," sources say in the know.
At this moment, if overseas players have to come to India to compete in the IPL, their visas are either still being processed, awaiting lack of required permits, for a clearer understanding of established travel routes or being refused for now.
"The postponement would also allow the BCCI to reassess the situation. If the competition will be held from mid-April onwards, then the time has come to focus on the visas. Note, the IPL can not be held without players from abroad. That's a condition that any franchise will be put on paper irrespective of anything else," sources say.
The IPL will be played to empty seats behind closed doors. The order on the matter from the central ministry of sports is up.
Under such a situation, the BCCI will have two things in mind: a) Adapt the size of the league to fit into a narrower timeframe, as they have done in the past; b) Perform the league within two or three venues, so that excessive travel can be curbed.
