They are organizing it without spectators, right? If so, there wouldn't be a problem as any case shootings have started and even cinema halls are opening. To move to another country would be more risky rather than playing it here. I can understand that for foreign players, it would be an issue but travelling itself makes them take that risk.
Are you serious that the movie halls are opening in India with the corona situation is getting worse and i am living in a place with much better situation than in India but the movie halls are closed but we can go to the restaurant but there is limited spaces and you need to wear a mask and the sporting activities started without audience and if the Indian government is willing to open movie halls then they can start allow sporting activities with limited audience.
The so called Unlock 3.0, (Thanks to Modi's fetish for acronyms and catchy slogans), is mulling opening up halls from August 1. The same for Gyms. We have already had quite a bit of re-opening with normal traffic, full markets, factories and workplaces etc. People are no longer willing to stay indoors of course. Plus most of them need to go out to work, open shops and just earn something. People wear masks and try to keep their distance, and pray that if they get symptoms then they turn out to be mild.
The way things are going, BCCI may not even have to move IPL. They can play without the audience even in India. Probably, the numbers will be manageable in UAE. Coz if it happens and is allowed in India, Corona or No corona, people will be flocking with masks and plastic suits from Amazon, but they WILL go and watch. Also, WTF is Jay Shah doing with the official website still reading
"IPL 20 suspended till further notice"
