I think that if back-to-back IPL tournament will be held, there will haven't any problem. IMO, it is good for BCCI. because they can get much profit from sponsor. on the other hand, it is good news for those people, who do like sports gambling. we all know that "IPL" is a big platform for gambling. so, if IPL will be held, I won't be mined anything. it will be good for me too. I am just waiting for this tournament,
I am not sure if they can consider this back to back IPL. Because if it does not happen in India which is most likely for this year due to the pandemic so the country would lose the revenue opportunity related to the hosting of IPL. So they may just consider it for this year if it happens and then might be next year could get postponed to latter half of the year rather than usual April month.

yahh you got my point. if the IPL is postponed this year, then BCCI will lose a large amount of money. I don't think BCCI want this type of financial damage. they will try their best to organize the IPL in this year. and I think, they may postpone the date of IPL next year. but if really, they want to held IPL in this year, they have to ensure players safety first. if any player will be affected by covid-19 during the IPL, all of his responsibility has to be taken by the IPL committee.
As expected, the Sri Lankan dropped the investigation.

I cannot believe the fact that they grilled Sangakarra for 10 freaking hours. This is messed up. I hope someone takes serious action against the dumb sports minister who initiated this bullshit.

Nothing new they have done this in the past and it was all political. This was supposed to happen before even they started it they canceled it and after few years again they will come and do the same. The Srilankan Sports Minister was high on something when he spoke about this issue to the media.
Some learning must have being learnt by the Sri Lankan Sports Ministry and hoping that in future they would not do such acts which can insult the image in the eye of the world of the team and their players who had given their soul for the Sril Lankan team and somebody like Sangakkara who has lived each moment for his team to become No 1 and played the best of the innings possible in each match and still was investigated. This would have been his worst moment for sure.
As expected, the Sri Lankan dropped the investigation.

I don't know why you guys always talk about postponing the IPL instead of cancelling it. Do you really think that it is a good idea to have an IPL during the 4th quarter of 2020, and then have the next year's edition just 3 months later? It will be like having back-to-back tournaments without any break in between. I am saying this for many months now. The only viable option is to cancel the IPL 2020 and to concentrate on the preparations for IPL 2021.
you have mentioned about the back to back tournaments. I even think that the number of matches will get reduced in those tournaments.

Still it's better to cancel IPL this year. There are lots of problems to conduct the IPL.
1. Spectator less gallery.
2. Problem to conduct home and away match.
3. Regular checkups for the players and supporting staff.
1. Empty stands is not alien scenario in the cricket or any sports. @7788bitcoin already pointed out one counter argument.
2. For starters BCCI aiming to conduct IPL season in UAE or Srl Lanka not India bc both countries are much safer destination in comparison of India.
3. When any series/tournaments takes place in tough condition, the first thing everyone discuss is safety so i think we should leave this to interesting parties.
Coming back to @vishnu statement, his position on audience's fatigue or overdose of IPL is true and might backfire on BCCI but we shouldn't forget that after 3-4 months halt due to pandemic audience are hungry for some sort of entertainment in the cricket and then we have revenue angle too.
Everyone ,including me is eagerly waiting for the matches to start. I don't care if there is no crowd in the stadium, all I want is to see the players in action and opportunity to bet on the matches.
I think UAE is a much better venue than srilanka for the IPL. There are many more indians in the UAE as compare to srilanka.

It is wishful thinking that we will see back to back IPL tournaments but for that to happen we should think that the corona situation will be over by the end of this year but the way things are going globally it is highly unlikely we will see the normal days anytime soon, the second and third waves will be keep on hitting and with the huge number of population in India it will take a really long time and if the BCCI consider to take the series outside then it is possible but lets see what they are planning for this year and whether they can do it successfully and after that we can think about other series. legendary

Hopefully BCCI will understand this all and announces postponed this year's event because right now all things going against them and if they will insist for this then surely they will face some serious trouble from common peoples and may be from government as well because they cannot ignore main sponsor and its not good for them.

The IPL is not making a huge amount of money with spectators as far as i know when you compare them with NBA or any other major sports and the major revenue is broadcasting rights and if the channel is not getting the contents then they will loose out millions of dollars and hence the BCCI will try to carry on with the tournament if it is possible without audience. IPL already conducted outside India in the past and hence it is not a big deal if there is no home or away matches and regular check up is necessary if they want to carry on with the tournament.

Finally got to know that IPL 2020 mostly likely will not happen in India and UAE and Sri Lanka are the front runners to host it. BCCI are in talks with this two boards and trying to figure out how and when it can happen. And the worst if BCCI decides to cancel IPL for this years they expect around 4000 crore INR loss . That is the reason they are trying very hard to ensure the IPL happens for this season.
But do they have enough infrastructure and facilities to conduct this tournament? How many stadiums do they have, outside Colombo?
Srilanka have almost 11 international cricket ground although most of the times. Most of them are in Colombo, however they have some other popular outside colombo too like Hambantota, Pallekele, Dambula. I think they have more than enough ground.Why will BCCI hold IPL in Srilanka?
The situation in India is pretty bad considering the number of cases getting reported daily. In such a situation IPL will be postponed but not played in a different country. Already Indians are boycotting Chinese products and BCCI is in the limelight for not removing the main sponsor of IPL which is a Chinese company and now if they conduct it outside India, things will go completely against them.
Forget about IPL there are many big issues that INDIA is currently facing. This year it will not happen.

I don't think Sri Lanka will be interested in hosting IPL if given the opportunity thanks to the current World Cup investigation situation. They don't trust their own players which is why I don't think they will even consider the financial incentive in this case.And finally, my most persisting question regarding this. If they stage the IPL 2020 sometime during Q4 2020, don't they think that it will impact the popularity and revenues of IPL 2021 (which is scheduled for Q1 2021)?
IPL 2021 would definitely be affected in this case, but the losses from IPL 2020 and 2021 would be minimal though I am not expecting IPL to be conducted anytime this year.
^^^^ All sorts of rumors are floating around regarding the IPL.
A few hours back, I came across this article:
https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/a-mumbai-only-ipl-2020-is-a-possibility-report/story-xqX8s415kww6OhRzJeo4yI.html
It is just a ridiculous suggestion to stage the IPL in Mumbai, when they have thousands of new cases being detected everyday.
Then I noticed the post from JSRAW. This suggestion is also not very practical. GCC nations are reeling from the pandemic right now. The real picture is not out, because there is heavy under-reporting as far as the cases are concerned. IMO, the tournament can't be hosted in any of the GCC nations (including the UAE).

One major IPL shareholder has suggested the idea of the tournament being held entirely in Mumbai and with the ICC yet to make a concrete announcement regarding the future of the T20 World Cup, the BCCI seems to be stuck in limbo.

Haha at first i thought the same then reality hit me on the head that travel is banned every where so, no chance. I would say still its some thing and i don't mind if Indian board doing same thing in India as well but BCCI eyes are on IPL only.
Do you really think it is a realistic possibility that we would see IPL this year in India, it might be possible if they take the tournament elsewhere, the situation in India is really going down the drains and i am witnessing it first hand and i am personally terrified seeing the situation that every other place is marked as red zone and i am stuck in the financial capital and i have no idea what the situation would be.IPL 2020 not happening in India! BCCI official calls UAE, Sri Lanka front-runners for season 13

The 13th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) looks all but set to be moved out of the country. In a recent conversation with IANS, a BCCI official hinted that the tournament is moving out this year. He picked Sri Lanka and UAE as front-runners to host the tournament. The report adds that BCCI is waiting for an official word regarding the future of T20 World Cup before taking a final decision regarding IPL 2020.
"We are yet to decide on the venue but in all probability, it is going outside this year. The condition in India doesn't look suited to have so many teams come in at one or two venues and then create an atmosphere which will be safe for the players as well as the general public even though the games may be played behind closed doors,” the official told IANS.
"The race is between UAE and Sri Lanka and we will need to decide on where we host the league depending on the situation there with regards to the coronavirus pandemic. Logistics also need to be looked into, so we will decide soon," he added.

I think its the end for the T20 world cup this year as the virus cases continue to grow in Victoria where the final was meant to be played. Its a shame as Australia have been doing a good job at containing the virus but a cluster started when overseas travellers arrived in Melbourne and the staff and security at the hotels contracted the virus and now its out of control so the T20 world cup most likely won't go ahead now.

I think except Newzealand every country is facing this problem. At first, it feels like the virus spread has been controlled and later on you realize it is far from being controlled. I am so much pissed with this CCP led China that I feel pity for those who reside in that country. This virus outbreak will not end and it will go on like this if we do not find a cure fast.
