Meeting of governing council of Indian Premier League underway in Mumbai

The meeting is reportedly attended by top BCCI brass, including President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah among others. 

The tournament, forced out of the country due to the raging COVID-19 pandemic, will be held from September 19 to November 8.

Meanwhile, Indian cricketers including ODI captain Mithali Raj have welcomed BCCI President Sourav Ganguly’s announcement that the Women’s IPL will take place during the men’s league in the UAE. 

While it is expected that most of the franchises will send their recce teams to the UAE to check out the facilities as well as the bio-secure environment that can be created, there are concerns that remain, including accommodation plan and catering services.
