However, Sportskeeda can confirm that the BCCI has no immediate plans of giving the hosting rights of the IPL to any other country, owing to the travel restrictions in place.

“IPL will be held, but not at the cost of health and safety”

Dhumal further added that the coronavirus pandemic has certainly caused a lot of problems for multiple cricket boards in terms of a financial crunch and the boards will need to unite post the lockdown to discuss ways of reviving world cricket.

Sportskeeda had earlier reported that BCCI has prioritised the IPL over any other tournament, and is even considering a window between August and September to commence the 13th edition of the cash-rich league.

While Dhumal felt that BCCI will undoubtedly take a big hit in terms of revenue if the cash-rich league does not take place, he confirmed that the tournament will not be held at the cost of the health and safety of the players and fans.
