MUMBAI: The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), beginning on March 27 and likely to go on for 60-plus days, will be held in India or South Africa. The final call hasn’t been taken yet, but the UAE and Sri Lanka can be safely ruled out, reports K Shriniwas Rao.
BCCI officials, the chairman of the IPL Governing Council and the interim CEO of the board, who also heads all IPL affairs, met the 10 IPL franchise owners on Saturday. On the issue of the destination, while BCCI wants the IPL in India, all franchise owners agreed that it should be held at a place where it will remain incident-free. If it has to be moved overseas, a majority favoured South Africa.
