Well like I have said many times during this pandemic, the BCCI only care about the money which is why they never stopped at trying to get this seasons IPL played and they now have what they wanted. Yes the UAE might be safe but who knows what can happen as this virus is really affecting a lot of sports around the world once they started playing. I just hope that all the players stay safe and we don't see any player get the virus like we have seen in other sports once they started back up again.
IPL 2020 has moved to the UAE and teams have already begun sweating.

This is just the beginning. There are so many hurdles that the teams need to overcome in order to make this tournament happen. Am expecting many players to back out owing to COVID-19. A single infected player is capable of transmitting the virus to the rest.

Logic ki maaaaaaa... chis jala di bhai?? Festivals are correlated to the harvest season not to developing or developed countries. And no, Rama did not return during Diwali so he could harvest his grains at Ayodhya.
Bhai murkho ki kami nahi hai is duniya main!!
Why bother then? It is not his fault he has been told about it or might have read it somewhere. You do not need to explain to everyone about festivals in India.
So finally we will have the IPL afterall. It would be interesting to see how it feels to watch it on TV without the usual exuberant, rancorous crowd noise in the background of commentary. Imagine cricket but with the background noise of a golf match. This will feel like twenty-twenty with a test match crowd. Will it make the experience a little less interesting. They should come up with some excuse to introduce background static in commentary to simulate a crowd.
3rd world countries like India go big on festivals primarily during the 2nd half of the year.

This time it will be double bonanza, the regular festival and at last IPL 2020 and for a month staying at home will be fruitful.
How big any festive was in the past you cannot expect anything to go as normal and you will be forced to celebrate at home and the reason the broadcasting partners wanted a different slot is because they want to cater to the audience who miss going out and enjoy the festival but India is a cricket craze nation and they will earn more than broadcasting anything else during festival season when everyone is forced to celebrate at home. This time it will be double bonanza, the regular festival and at last IPL 2020 and for a month staying at home will be fruitful.
Wow, one month festival, never thought that a festival could last one month as i am accustomed to Carnevale, Pasquetta and Christmas, but the matches in IPL just last around 3 to 4 hours and they can stack the day with the rest of the programs as the matches actually takes place at night. I really enjoy participating in these events rather than watching it in television. I read the wiki page but i am more confused now as it says it is a festival of several other religion.
Festivals in India are usually celebrated for several days to weeks. Diwali isn't a month long festival. It lasts for a couple of days and people around the world call it the festival of lights due to the epic fireworks basically which is why people from different religions participate in it.Certain festivals last for a couple of weeks though. 3rd world countries like India go big on festivals primarily during the 2nd half of the year. Diwali plus IPL basically equals fireworks!

One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism.
So basically broadcaster wants to cover Diwali week for more revenue.

We are certain we will see the IPL this year and that is a good thing.

Didn't expect IPL to happen this year which is why this news surprised me. UAE are taking a big risk here just for the sake of financial incentives and I hope the tournament starts and concludes smoothly without any issues due to COVID.
Since you are so concerned of IPL being organised in UAE I think you should watch this video - https://youtu.be/UM1XegvglO0
If I am correct then UAE is the only country that is open to tourism. IPL will conclude smoothly without any issues.
Guys it’s official the IPL is scheduled to begin on September 19th in UAE, and the final will be held on November 8th. @Indymoney I believe that UAE is very strict in implementing covid laws, hence I’m not surprised that BCCI has selected UAE as the destination, and now let’s hope that this tournament starts and ends without anyone testing positive.

Not interested in unnecessary T-20 series after 50 days of IPL dose 
. let them follow quarantine norm and training, then focus on Day/Night practice match + Test series.
Didn't expect IPL to happen this year which is why this news surprised me. UAE are taking a big risk here just for the sake of financial incentives and I hope the tournament starts and concludes smoothly without any issues due to COVID.. let them follow quarantine norm and training, then focus on Day/Night practice match + Test series.The big question is how will this affect IPL 2021 which would take place right after a couple of months as long as a vaccine is ready.
I still think that the BCCI should have sacrificed IPL this year even if they were to lose 4K crores since health should be given a greater priority here. Let's see what happens.
Looks like another series might get postponed to 2021.

COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc. It still seems that there is a strong possibility of the series happening this year based on what I read, but the 14 day quarantine makes sense overall.

Friends Cricket fever is back just because of this I am posting here this picture now give your captions about this.

^^^ TV broadcasters should be reasonable in their demands. They wanted the IPL and now they got it despite the different circumstances. Now they can't make unfair demands like the schedule should be decided by them. Also, it needs to be remembered that this year's T20 World Cup was postponed, so that the IPL 2020 can go forward as planned.
So after yesterdays meeting, IPL to set on the Diwali slot as mentioned earlier by JSRAW.
IPL to be played from September 19 To November 8 in the UAE

What can you expect in these situations?
Mandatory quarantine will claim 14 days and then when will they play? You have to follow the SOP for covid19 to prevent further excalation.

If the other teams can undergo the 14 day quarantine, then what is the problem with the Indian team? Both West Indies and Pakistan teams underwent quarantine after reaching England. Laws remain same for everyone and the BCCI can't claim that they are special and they should be given the exception. The best thing to do is to include more matches, so that the time wasted as a result of quarantine is justified.

I read somewhere that broadcaster want to cover Diwali slot (14 Nov) as well, can't find report and BCCI want to conclude IPL season soon (7th Nov) due to Ind-Aus series ( Reasons : mandatory 14- days quarantine, practice games etc).
What is diwali slot, there is nothing going on during this period and that will continue till November as well.So basically broadcaster wants to cover Diwali week for more revenue.
WE WANT TO MAKE IPL FOR THE WEEK OF DIWALI FOR MORE PROFIT, WHILE BCCI FOCUS ON AUSTRALIA TOUR

Broadcasters want to earn more profits in Diwali week
If sources are to be believed, the broadcaster wants to earn more profits through advertising during the week of Star Diwali. That is why they want the BCCI to take this schedule by the second or third week of November. Those opposing the schedule say that most of the matches in the IPL this time will be in the afternoon, which will affect the ratings.
Star expected to earn Rs 3300 crore from Ed this year
Star has bought the broadcasting rights of the IPL for 5 years for Rs 16,347.5 crore. 55 crores for a match i.e. 23.3 lakhs per ball. Star is expected to generate 3300 crore TV, digital ad revenue from the IPL this year. He has already sold 90% of the ad slots.
