    IPL could be held during the October-November window

    The possible window for the BCCI to host the 13th edition of the tournament is during October-November. However, the T20 World Cup is scheduled during that time. It has been speculated that the IPL might happen if the ICC decides to postpone the T20 World Cup. The board was waiting for ICC's meeting on Wednesday to find out if they got a clear window.

    The ICC will continue to explore a number of contingency plans regarding the future of Men's T20 World Cup 2020 and ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2021, until next month. Reportedly, the board members unanimously agreed to assess and evaluate the scenario in the wake of coronavirus pandemic. Several factors will be evaluated under the planning process.

    BCCI optimistic regarding IPL 2020

    The IPL 2020 was indefinitely postponed amid the coronavirus pandemic. With the World T20 likely to be postponed, a window will open up. Last month, BCCI Chief Executive Officer Rahul Johri claimed cricketing activities can start only after the monsoon but is optimistic about the IPL 2020 happening this year. However, the BCCI will follow the guidelines meted out by the government of India.
