Earlier on Tuesday, the conference call of BCCI officials and team owners was postponed as the COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the country and around the world. The star-studded eight-team league was originally scheduled to start on March 29 in Mumbai. It seems the BCCI is deferring the announcement hoping against hope for things to improve. “If Olympics can be postponed by a year, IPL is a much smaller entity in that regard. It is becoming increasingly difficult to organise. At this point the government is not even thinking about allowing foreign visas,” a BCCI official in know of things said. Currently, each stakeholder is discussing ways to limit the financial damage with insurance companies as well as broadcasters. “With 21 day lockdown, it is virtually impossible that things will return to normalcy by April 14. It might improve but a lot of restrictions will be in place. So it will be foolish not to cancel the league,” a BCCI veteran said.
