6. Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala.

Dharamshala is my fav, it doesn't matter anyway. BCCI looking at Bengaluru, The National Cricket Academy (NCA) is already there and has all the training facilities they need and now it depends on the Karnataka's gov.

Well its looking very good for the T20 world cup to go ahead as planned as the football season in Australia is going to start in June and the AFL have already said that if they need to move the grand final from the MCG because of the world cup then they will move it to another stadium. Lets now hope that Australia is able to keep the virus cases low and we get to see some cricket played on time.

Props to Australia..

Safe to say if it happens then every team might go for 14 days isolation camp before the WC (in Australia), to avoid any mishap.

^^^ JSRAW, talking about the green zones, most of them are located in extremely rural areas and I don't know whether these districts do have the training facilities. Right now I can think about six stadiums which are located in the green zone. These are:

1. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
2. Greenfield International Stadium, Trivandrum
3. Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi
4. Keenan Stadium, Jamshedpur
5. Fatorda Stadium, Goa
6. Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala.

Guru Greg?

Media and some player used to call him Guru Greg when he started his stint with the Team India.

BCCI and Players already gave similar hint for Aus tour (Nov-Dec) - Isolation Camp after arrival- and now getting ready in India.
It would be interesting to see Gov's take on it. Green_Zone seems safe bet for training..

BCCI targets 'isolation camp' for players in 'safe zones'

Quote

"The safety of the players is the board's priority. We will have to work on the logistics and see if Bengaluru is safe enough. If things don't look absolutely fine, then we will look for areas in the country which fall outside the containment zones. The camp will be sanitised. And there is also an option of opening up local stadiums to senior players," a BCCI official told TOI.

TOI understands that everyone picked for the camp - from players to general staff - will have to clear health prerequisites and will not move out of the camp premises. However, by the looks of things, it will be difficult to get the camp going in the near future. It might take more than a month and will depend on the relaxations given by the government after May 18.

"There are a lot of logistical issues. BCCI needs government directions and will adhere to it. The flights schedule and freedom of movement will have to be taken into account. The medical team is also in the loop," the official said.

I would disagree when you say that Greg Chappell is the worst coach to ever lead the national team. I would confer that honor to Ravi Shastri, the current coach of the Indian team. Fondly known in India as the "Damaadji", his annual salary is more than the annual contract amount of Virat Kohli. But I am yet to notice a single positive contribution from this guy.

Understandable. Ravi is basically a playboy based on what I have observed and contributed very little so far, but the Indian team has not been affected in a bad way which is why little contribution is better than negative contribution. Greg still leads the worst coach category due to these reasons.

Quote from: JSRAW on May 14, 2020, 09:55:57 PM

Haha he was called Guru Greg at start but he did $ucked up Indian team and his name still haunt many Indian players or fans. Greg ruined his reputation completely now no-one take his advice seriously even the good ones.

Guru Greg? Lol. He is basically the Craig Wright of the cricketing world these days. I guess he is still trying to stay relevant, but the critics continue to diss him whenever they get the chance(Awesome). His advice was never good to begin with.

Lol. Greg Chappell continues getting trolled even now. Easily the worst coach to ever lead the Indian side. I like how Harbhajan and Yuvraj came to Dhoni's defence. This just goes to show how important a coach is to a team at the end of the day.

On Worst coach discussion, I might put Ravi Shastri along with Greg Chappell as @Vishnu pointed out.

It looks like Australian sports will be starting very soon, its looking like some time in June which is good for the T20 world cup. I am still thinking that the world cup will be delayed by a few weeks or maybe even a month or two as the AFL which is the local football league is hoping to have their grand final played in October some time and that's when the world cup was meant to start so I am expecting a delay of a few weeks.

^^^^ Juggy, I never said that relations are bad between Virat Kohli and Ravi Shastri. And as you have pointed out, the Indian team won many important matches under his tenure. But compared to the previous coaches such as Duncan Fletcher, Gary Kirsten, John Wright or even Greg Chappell, I have a feeling that Shastri contributed very little to these victories. On the other hand, John Wright is someone who played a huge role in improving the performance of the Indian team, with his strict training regimen and aggressiveness. Chappell was very aggressive as well, but he had issues with some of the senior players.

@Haunebu indeed Greg had a horrible stint with the Indian cricket player’s, as he refused to cooperate with them and then he ended up hurting everyone in the squad which ultimately led to his dismissal as the Indian head coach. @Visnu.Reang I don’t agree with you that Ravi Shastri is a bad coach as team India has won important matches under his guidance, and most importantly he has the backing of Virat the current Indian captain.

Well Sri Lankan board did submit the proposal of hosting IPL and they were the first country to do that so chances are weather might not be a big party pooper here.

I just heard that the situation will worsen more within a few months.

70k + cases and counting so yeah tough time.

Yes. I was talking about the weather. As far as I know, the monsoon season in Sri Lanka runs parallel with the same in India, with the same duration. And also, the island is prone to very heavy rainfall during the Monsoons. That should automatically increase the chances of either Australia or the UAE hosting the tournament (given the fact that both these countries are mostly rain-free during this period).

As far as i know SriLanka dos not have any indoor stadiums and seriously will the Indian fans will agree to host their favorite tournament in srilanka and not in their home ground India ? Will the players from Australia, England and other countries willing to travel to srilanka to play the IPL ?

To avoid the potential loss, if BCCI decides to host this season on Srilanka, why not? It's true that a lot of fan would never love that but if possible it should be done and I think there will be no problem with players from other country to play in Srilanka.

I do not think BCCI and the government of India will agree in conducting the matches in Srilanka. The government not India has started a new mantra of self reliant and promoting anything locally. Now in such circumstances I do not think the government will allow BCCI in hosting Indian Premier League in Srilanka.

IPL is profitable for BCCI but not much for CA. they might get some percentage of revenue cut from the BCCI, that's it ... bigger share belongs to BCCI. Plus there is some romanticize factor with the World Cup.

If BCCI thinking about shifting IPL then Sri Lanka seems better candidate to me as its close to India so not much fuss about logistics and SriLanka has lower cases of Covid-19 in comparison of UAE.

I am not much knowledgeable in this subject, so someone can educate me. In Sri Lanka, the Monsoon season is going to last until end of October. So I don't know how it is possible to stage the tournament there, unless they are playing the matches either in indoor stadiums, or grounds with retractable roof. UAE and Australia are viable, because they are mostly free from rains during this period.

Bilateral cricket crucial in post-COVID climate - BCCI treasurer

TLDR:
Q: How much loss if IPL doesn't takes place?
A: Around INR 4000 crore.... approximately $400 Millions?... please someone do the math Grin

Q : Priority from now on?
A : Health but if there is any opportunity available then would like to see IPL.

It is very much required but where can it be organized. I just heard that the situation will worsen more within a few months. The only option left is to organize these matches in empty stadiums. That also comes with high risk.

I guess they have to wait till June end to see if any opportunity will arise to conduct IPL.

Health must be the utmost priority and loss of money does not matter as long as you are taking measure controls to remain healthy and safe in these conditions. Just consider if the tournament is held in these conditions and some player become infected with covid 19, it will bring a bad name for the cricket board and all the officials.
