New Delhi: Amidst rumours that IPL would be called off considering the current covid situation, sources say the cricket extravaganza will happen as scheduled.
A BCCI official reportedly stated, ‘All of us are seeing, discussing with each other. We completely understand that the situation is grim. BCCI like any other organization is completely with the people of country in these difficult times. But we have a job to do and also have a responsibility towards our cricketers and the sport. We are trying to do that job to the best of our abilities. Please understand that IPL also brings in lot of joy for the entire country. We will continue the league as of now’.
As of now, IPL is going ahead. Obviously, if anyone wants to leave, thatās perfectly fine, a senior Board official said on conditions of anonymity said.
The lockdown will actually help us in carrying out our job more smoothly. We are ready to hold the 2nd leg amid tight bubbles. No one need to worry. The cases outside will not affect the players, support staff and IPL will be held smoothly, say sources close to BCCI.
