The 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will see the return of home-and-away format, which had to altered when the league was played in a bio-bubble during the Covid-19 pandemic. That also means there will be more travel involved for the teams over the next two months, which will be one of the tough parts according to Delhi Capitals' coach Ricky Ponting.
"It'll be harder on the players with much more travel in this IPL, but this is part and parcel of franchise cricket. I think more travelling makes the tournament more exciting. We'll get to play in a lot of different venues and in front of many different groups of fans," Ponting said in a media release issued by the franchise.
