I don't understand why BCCI is hell bent to host so many fixtures in the Mumbai? Hyderabad and Himachal seems pretty okay but no game for them, although Hyderabad did some drama over their revenue reporting which cost them hosting rights but in recent time they look better bet in comparison to Mumbai.

Yes.. it is surprising. Right now the state of Maharashtra (where Mumbai is located) is the worst in terms of COVID 19 situation across India. Also, Mumbai is not the sole metro city in India. There are Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. Also, just one of the franchises are based in that city (Mumbai Indians). I just hope that this obsession with Mumbai doesn't result in the cancellation of the tournament mid-way (as happened with PSL).

I do not see any possibility of IPL being canceled. The IPL will be held even if the coronavirus grows. Maybe some rules and obligations may increase, but the IPL will not be abandoned. The IPL was held even in the most difficult moment of the coronavirus the previous season, when there was no vaccine. The infection rate is now somewhat lower than in previous years and everyone is quite health conscious. Hopefully all the matches of IPL will be held on time.

It is too late now to cancel the tournament or reschedule the location. BCCI now need to implement more strict rules if they want IPL to run smoothly. If any more such incidents happen then it will tarnish the reputation of BCCI and also IPL. The government of Maharashtra has been struggling from day one when the pandemic started. BCCI should have considered alternate location for this season of IPL.

At least they are bent towards Mumbai. I was expecting the whole IPL to be played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Grin

Jokes Apart I think they want to minimize travel as much as possible. Give maximum matches to a stadium at least the maximum it can host considering it's pitch and all. Moreover venues this time isn't going to be a big concern for BCCI as there are no revenues involved for them. Earlier adding more stadiums meant opening up your Revenues to a new city altogether. So they are keeping it as simple as possible that's all. Extra stadiums is just extra cost with no substantial revenue.

lol but In all seriousness i think we need more stadium like Motera. It can host 2 matches back 2 back without any problem. Gate revenue is out of the equation this time so stadium doesn't matter. If travelling was concern then they should have opt for the Hyderabad instead of Mumbai from the start.

If they do not understand now the BCCI will understand soon that it is going to be an impossible to task right now to conduct matches in Mumbai, the entire Mumbai is shut after 8 PM and how they are going to conduct the day night match and there are reports that they might shut everything till they control the situation.

The moment i heard about another lock down i packed everything and flew to another state and now in quarantine for over a week and undergone a test and the results are negative but taking precaution as i am sitting in quarantine for a month.

You did the right thing, stay safe. Fingers crossed for Mumbai.

Even today they mentioned that they are confident of conducting matches in Mumbai : IPL 2021: BCCI confident of retaining IPL matches in Mumbai despite surge in coronavirus cases

And they were pointing their bio bubble is secure and no one with virus can enter into it but what if something happens in the middle of the tournament the entire schedule maybe collapsed.

Just in Axar Patel and 10 ground staff test COVID positive at wankhade stadium. BCCI says it is too late to shift now, they will be now setting up more tougher rules. I now doubt whether IPL will go on smoothly.

BCCI should shift all matches from Maharashtra to othe location. The situation is pretty bad in the state.

Thats really a bad news to hear and also cricbuzz reported that someone from CSK also tested positive but the name was not mentioned by the CEO of CSK franchise but he assures that no one was in contact and also the person was indifferent floor from other players. I hope the tournament will go on but BCCI should consider shifting the matches from Wankhede stadium because it is in the state more than 60% of total cases reported in India.

I am also shocked with this news because after PSL incident I was expecting some tough rules by BCCI, but they are lacking of management because they need some stick policy if they want to be good IPL season here in India otherwise it's going to be hurt very badly in many ways.

90 days tournament seems exaggeration to me. As far as i remember they did discuss the 9 teams format last year and maximum proposed schedule of IPL was 50ish days including double header fixtures.

I would prefer IPL over any dead bilateral T-20 / ODI series. Would be good if BCCI avoid any useless ODI series when T-20 WC is on the line and similarly when ODI WC is coming then stop playing T-20 series against every country.

There were some rumors about extending it to 90 days, but I can't confirm. One source is here:

https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-approves-10-team-ipl-from-2022-season-at-its-annual-general-meeting/

It looks as if there are plans for a 10-team tournament, with a total of 94 matches (to be played across two and half months).

And regarding the bilateral series, they are like gold dust for the BCCI, as they generate a lot of revenue. I don't expect them to downgrade the preference that is currently given to bilateral series.

Seems more like speculation. I think BCCI would not prefer this route, they can't be that retarted. let's see what happens.

I'm fed up with Sri vs Ind bilateral series tbh. Every time Indian team is free BCCI schedule one more series.

Top of that two and half months of cricket for a tournament to reach its final will not help either as even the world cup will not last that long and why would a franchise tournament extend that long.

IPL broadcasting rights are bigger than all ICC tournament combined.

I do think that it is over kill as we are seeing a lot of franchise tournaments across the globe and these are killing international cricket as i do not care about watching other series and even though the competition in the IPL is really good right now and an increase in the team means the talents that are available right now will be spread to more teams.

Top of that two and half months of cricket for a tournament to reach its final will not help either as even the world cup will not last that long and why would a franchise tournament extend that long.

The simple fact is that franchise cricket is bringing in more revenues to the cricket board, when compared to the matches involving national team. There is no doubt that franchise cricket is the future and in this case cricket will resemble more like football in the long run. Two and half months sounds like a lot and that too for a tournament that occurs every year. If that is the case, then the BCCI needs to cut down on the commitments of the national team.

This is one tour that Bangladesh will want to forget as it was a very poor performance in all formats of the game. We all know that New Zealand is a top team but I didn't expect to see Bangladesh play so poorly. They lost every match and not only that they were beaten badly in every match which I didn't expect to see, I would of thought they would at least challenge New Zealand in a couple of matches but nothing. Its like watching the Bangladesh teams from when they first came into International cricket, that's how poorly they played on this tour. Lets hope they can bounce back and start playing some good cricket again.

I agree, Bangladesh performance was appalling - massive shock to most of us I guess. It also seemed to me that the dynamic of the team just wasn't there, the spirit was low and while they were pushing they just didn't have a change against New Zealand that came in prepared. It was surprising to see this coming from Bangladesh, but yh, they need to pull back and get into it, otherwise this will lose them many fans, and would lose their ranking.

Indeed, some players have faced difficulties with BCB. Recently few senior players have revealed the behaviour of BCB, which is harsh. But Shakib Al Hasan got his pass to play in the IPL. He has also prepared himself to give his best performance in the IPL. Currently he is having quarantine time with his teammates at a hotel in Mumbai. Hope that his team KKR will have a good achievement in this IPL event.

It may happen teams from other states started to play in the IPL but it seems so far there is no good improvement on it, there was also some talks were going like 9 team or 10 teams going to be a part of 2020 IPL but nothing changed in the end. IMO this 3 month schedule is bit longer an people may get bored so nothing to be changed from the current league structure.

I agree that 3 months sounds like too much. IMO, they should increase the number of teams from 8 to 10, but keep the duration to two months. As per the revised calendar, now there is an ICC event almost every year. On top of that, there are bilateral series. So viewer fatigue will be there. I agree that IPL is a revenue generating event. But BCCI should not go for the overkill.

90 days tournament seems exaggeration to me. As far as i remember they did discuss the 9 teams format last year and maximum proposed schedule of IPL was 50ish days including double header fixtures.

I would prefer IPL over any dead bilateral T-20 / ODI series. Would be good if BCCI avoid any useless ODI series when T-20 WC is on the line and similarly when ODI WC is coming then stop playing T-20 series against every country.

IPL will be the first priority for BCCI over any other tournaments because this is bring lot of profits to them over any other cricket boards so there will be no wonder even if they increase the time schedule but they may not doing it until the pandemic over because they may loss their revenue because of no spectators and less sponsorship compared to previous years.

The problems with the BCB and Shakib Al Hasan is not new and there was a hurdle which was an unwanted news headline for getting the permission to play the IPL as Bangladesh has scheduled a Test series in the following months and his request to play the IPL made some confusions for some in the board and i guess it is sorted by now as he is currently in India preparing for the IPL.

IPL is extremely important for all those players who are a part of it, and that is the reason why most of the cricket boards don't schedule any bilateral series during that period. I don't know how viable it is to block two months of the international calendar every year for a franchise T20 league. But in the end, all that matters is money. And BTW, I heard that BCCI want to expand the IPL to a three-month tournament from 2022 onwards. I am not sure how much comfortable the other boards will be with that decision.

It may happen teams from other states started to play in the IPL but it seems so far there is no good improvement on it, there was also some talks were going like 9 team or 10 teams going to be a part of 2020 IPL but nothing changed in the end. IMO this 3 month schedule is bit longer an people may get bored so nothing to be changed from the current league structure.

I guess by next IPL they will increase it to 120 days Grin

Too much of T20 this year and with 90 days of IPL, half of the year will be over. BCCI will do anything to increase their revenue but with the third wave of COVID19 hitting India is it practical to have 90 days schedule. Just imagine how players will cope up with the bio bubble for those 90 days. This is too much for players and if some players get frustrated with the bio bubble then this IPL will become will be over in no time.
