The Indian Premier
League Governing Council (IPL GC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in an emergency meeting has unanimously decided to
postpone IPL 2021 season, with immediate effect.
The BCCI does not want
to compromise on the safety of the players, support staff and the other participants involved in organizing
the IPL. This decision was taken keeping the safety, health and
well-being of all the stakeholders in mind.
These are difficult
times, especially in India and while we have tried to bring in some
positivity and cheer, however, it is imperative that the tournament is now
suspended and everyone goes back to their families and loved ones in these trying times.
The BCCI will do
everything in its powers to arrange for the secure and safe passage of
all the participants in IPL 2021.
The BCCI would like to
thank all the healthcare workers, state associations, players, support staff, franchises, sponsors,
partners and all the service providers who have tried their best to
organize IPL 2021 even in these extremely difficult times.
