The future of the 13th edition of the IPL will be decided over a conference call between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises on Tuesday. They will discuss what to be done next there. Earlier, on March 13, the BCCI had decided to push back the IPL till April 15 due to the COVID-19 outbreak all over the world and in the country. Earlier it was about to begin on March 29.

“BCCI and IPL franchise to have a conference call on coming Tuesday to discuss the process and further way of IPL 2020,” a BCCI source told ANI.

Meanwhile, the BCCI had also asked all their employees to work from home as the COVID-19 has been affecting people and it spreads rapidly day by day. The total number of affected cases in India has now reached 300, including 32 foreigners as well, the Union Health Ministry said on Friday.

“BCCI office has closed so no meeting can be held there similarly no meeting can be held in the hotel so they have opted conference call,” the source added.

The disease has taken more than 10,000 lives globally. Coronavirus has affected not only everyone’s lives but also sporting events across the globe which not only included the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League but also several international series as well. However, no decision took place yet as the situation has not changed much in the last few days due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

India currently reported near 300 positive cases and four deaths for COVID-19 so far. While all the foreign visas have already been put on hold till April 15, the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has said that a “truncated IPL” can happen where a minimum 17 days already lost as well.
