New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it clear to all the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises that no team can leave for the UAE before August 20.
There were reports that both Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians could be looking to leave for Abu Dhabi around August 10 or 12. But those plans need to be put on hold as of now.
Speaking to IANS, a franchise official said that the IPL Governing Council has sent in a mail which has clearly told them that the teams can leave for UAE but not before August 20.
“We have been informed by a mail from the IPL GC that we can leave for UAE after August 20.
So, there is no question of anyone going there before that. The diktat is pretty clear here,” the official said in a statement. While the BCCI issued the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to the state associations for the resumption of cricket on Sunday, the IPL teams are expecting the same soon.
“We have not got the SOPs yet, but we have been given the go-ahead to start preparation ,” the franchise official said.” (IANS)
