NEW DELHI- The BOARD OF CONTROL OF INDIA(BCCI) HAS SAID THAT IT WILL WAIT FOR GOVERNMENT DECISION ON CURRENT CORONAVIRUS SITUATION BEFORE TAKING OUT ANY PLANS REGARDING CONDUCTION OF INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL)2020.
THE CURRENT REPORTS SAY THAT THE INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE IS LIKELY TO BE POSPONED TILL APRIL 15 ,AND WILL WAIT TILL GOVERNMENT DECISION ,"A BCCI SOURCE TOLD ANI".
POSSIBLE SCENARIO TO CONDUCT IPL 2020:-
- A Closed door affair

From commercial interests and a lot more riding on the tournament, the most likeliest of the possibilities appear to be IPL 2020 being played behind closed doors. In a bid to contain the epidemic, a lot of football leagues and other sporting events have been restricted to no fanfare in the stadiums.
The move not only allows the league officials to carry on the tournament proceedings as expected with minimal damage to the revenues, but, with no fans inside the stadiums, it further ensures the containment of the epidemic.
- Postponing the League

While the coronavirus spread continues to claim lives across the globe, its preventive measures have left people and nations crippled. With the visa restriction imposed on foreign players, it is quite obvious that the overseas players roped in by the eight franchises will not be able to arrive in India till April 15.
Taking note of the situation at hand, the Indian government has set the date in a bid to, hopefully, tackle the challenges posed by the epidemic in a span of one month. Owing to the mandate, the IPL 2020 organisers could probably decide to postpone the start of the league and begin post the prescribed date, playing multiple matches in a single day to complete the rigorous schedule.
- Changing the League State

With relatively less time at hand, the IPL 2020 organisers can also shorten the league. Just like the ICC World Cup last year, the tournament, rather than being played in its normal structure, can witness the eight franchises being divided into two groups to minimise the games.Following a shortened group-stage, the franchises finishing at the top two spots in the groups can qualify for the knockout stages, potentially the semifinals, before the coveted final. This move will undeniably result in a massive hit on the revenues, but it will still serve the purpose to fans.
- A Dishearting Cancellation.

For billions of fans, countless support staff, team owners and players, the decision of cancelling the 2020 edition of the IPL will surely be a massive letdown - a threat that looms large on the ongoing Premier League season. But, given the circumstances in relation to the fast-spreading coronavirus, the authorities might not have any other option if the positive cases continue to increase in India.
This decision, if taken, will not only be in accordance to the COVID-19, but also would keep in mind the packed calendar of the Indian cricket team. The IPL 2020 was looked upon as a key tournament to prepare for the highly-awaited World T20 in Australia this October, thus, accommodating new dates seems tougher than it might appear as it would affect the 'Men in Blue' as well as other Teams.
- IPL WITHOUT FOREIGN PLAYERS
 |
| No Foreign players in IPL |
It is quite possible that if the situation of covid-19 spread come under controll,then BCCI may try to conduct IPl without foreign players and without any crowd(audience) because of the safety of the nation.The foreign player might not be able to participate in IPL 2020 Due to the upcoming world T20 and thus IPL might. Be conducted without foreign players and in closed ground.
