The much-anticipated Indian Premier League is set to begin on March 22 and will be held in India despite the coinciding general elections, league chairman Arun Dhumal told PTI on February 20.
The elections are expected to be held in April and May and that is the main reason why the schedule for the IPL's 17th edition has not been unveiled yet.
Speaking to PTI, Dhumal said that only the schedule of the first 15 days will be announced at first and the roster for the remaining games will be decided after the announcement of the general election dates. The dates of the Lok Sabha polls are expected to be announced early next month.
