After Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), the UAE Board has offered to have the suspended version of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in the United Arab Emirates. The UAE is no more abnormal to facilitating the IPL, having masterminded 20 matches in 2014 to maintain a strategic distance from date conflicts with the general decisions in India. Be that as it may, it is anything but a proposition the Indian board (BCCI) is required to hop upon at this stage.
“The UAE has offered to have the IPL on the off chance that we need them to. Be that as it may, at the present time when there is no worldwide travel, there is no doubt of accepting an approach that,” said BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal.
The BCCI hasn’t surrendered any expectation of rescheduling the IPL and keeping it in India ought to the coronavirus be contained. BCCI authorities state they have been taking a gander at recognizing bio-secure arenas at home, however India at present has dreadfully numerous infection influenced red zones.
In a situation where the legislature can’t lift the checks on games, would the BCCI be available to move the IPL to a remote land, similar to they had done in 2009 (South Africa) and in 2014? Dhumal was reserved. “The wellbeing and security of players and all members is our need. Right now, the whole world travel has ground to a halt, so there is nothing we can choose at this stage,” he said.

Taking the IPL abroad is a possibility that has been talked about with establishments over casual channels. Regardless of whether the IPL is organized in India, shut entryway matches resemble the best wager. Establishments, regardless, remain to miss out on income from door receipts. Likewise, with social separating rules expected to remain paying little heed to the setting, most extreme influence for supports (like player meet-and-welcomes) are far-fetched. Sri Lanka and UAE being geologically close, TV timings would be a non-issue.
Indeed, even an IPL only for TV will secure the communicate and title rights arrangements of the BCCI. A standard IPL would have helped BCCI acquire around Rs 2500 crore. With player pay rates tipping Rs 600 crore, establishments also were relied upon to make benefits of over Rs 150 crore each. With such sound returns ensured, cricket sheets electing to have the IPL is obvious. At the point when the IPL was moved to South Africa, Cricket South Africa (CSA) made a turnover of $ 11.4 million. The UAE Board charged substantially less from the BCCI for organizing the IPL, yet it lifted their profile and helped Dubai become an ordinary universal goal.
Sri Lanka’s cricket board is battling monetarily, without any takers for its media rights delicate. The organizing charges of the IPL and restored supporter intrigue could have helped them.
“We have talked about among our board of trustees individuals the proposition to have the IPL in Sri Lanka. We are in lockdown till May 11. Any further choice will be taken after that,” said SLC secretary Mohan de Silva.
