IPL 2020 Schedule Will Be Out On September 6
The schedule of the upcoming season of the Dream 11 Indian Premier League will be released on September 6 (Sunday), as per the latest reports.
Earlier, The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly had said that the much-awaited schedule for the IPL 2020 should be released by Friday which, of course, couldn't happen.
However, as per the latest reports, the BCCI will release the fixtures of IPL 2020, which has been moved out of India to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to the coronavirus pandemic, on Sunday.
"Schedule of IPL 2020 that starts from 19th September in UAE will be released tomorrow (September 6)", says IPL chairman Brijesh Patel as reported by ANI.
If reports are to be believed, the opening match still will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians which was originally scheduled. It was earlier reported that any of the teams other than CSK, will be against MI on September 19, due to CSK staff along with two players tested positive for the coronavirus.
Meanwhile, all the teams have started training with three-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) being the latest to hit the nets. The tournament, as scheduled, will be held from September 19 to November 10 in the UAE across three venues — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
