The IPL can't be conducted between June and August, due to the Monsoons. If they conduct it after that, it is going to clash with the schedule of other tournaments. And anyway, IPL 2021 will start by March 2021. So how can they justify 5-6 months interval between the two tournaments? My advice to BCCI is to cancel this years tournament and reimburse all the expenses to franchises, sponsors and the TV channels.
If the virus can be contained by that time then the BCCI has the ability to move the matches to countries where there is no monsoon and we have already seen the IPL moved to South Africa in the past so it is possible that the IPL could be moved from India if monsoon is the obstacle Wink.

Please answer my question. Which one is more precious among these - 1,000 human lives, or $1 billion? More than a million individuals attended the IPL last season, and there is a good chance that if we witness the same number of audience this time, then anywhere from 1% to 10% may get infected from the virus directly. Will BCCI be OK with that sort of risk?
If the situation gets worse then there will be complete shut down, nothing is more important than health and human lives and no sporting events will resume until everything is sorted.

Both are important for me economic stability and the health of fellow humans. I do not know what will happen if BCCI cancels IPL this year but I do know many people will lose jobs and to cover it's losses BCCI will increase fees which will in directly affect common people.
If BCCI increases any fees it will not affect anyone, you have the option to opt out and it is not a necessity to get them imposed upon you Tongue, still not sure which fees you are talking about other than ticket fees because the broadcasting rights are already sold and it will affect the broadcasters rather than the BCCI and if the event is cancelled then the BCCI might compensate by extending the broadcasting rights for one more year.

Matches can be organised without spectators  and they can be rescheduled for a later date this year.
Group events and sports cannot be conducted like that in this case, one on one events can be conducted without spectator but not group events where people from different countries share the same locker room and i am sure it will not be allowed during this period.

I hope that does not happen. Cancelling IPL can become very costly affair for BCCI and there are a lot of jobs in stake too. BCCI will lose some where around 3000 crore if they cancel IPL this year.

I am sure they are monitoring the present situation and accordingly they will take a decision. At the moment the situation in Idia and across the globe has gone worse. Hopefully things should become normal by April.

The virus can be contained but Indians are more intrested in hiding it from the government and spreading it to others. China has successfully contained the virus within three months and India can too if the citizens collaborate with the government.

Cricket boards and ICC are free these days so they are discussing some rules for T-20 WC Semis. Everyone wakes up when things gets messy, it happened before when New Zealand lost the final last year (Thanks to boundary rule) and recently England Women team lost the Semis against India without even playing a single ball (Thanks to rain)

Reserve Day for men's T20 World Cup semis could be reconsidered

Quote
Cricket Australia would welcome the idea of having reserve days for the knockout stages of this year's men's T20 World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by them in October-November, 2020. The tournament organisers are keen to have reserve days for the two semi-final games, scheduled to be hosted in Sydney (November 11) and Adelaide (November 12). Melbourne will be hosting the grand final on November 15th and a reserve day is already in place in case of any rain delays.

The dialogue opened in the wake of the fiasco that engulfed the standalone women's tournament held earlier this year. With no reserve days in place, the first semi-final between India and England was washed out while the second match between hosts Australia and South Africa saw a truncated affair. Both matches were held at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and players expressed disappointment at not having got a proper shot at the finals.

I agree that a lot of this is for fear and scaring people however this has a big affect on sports. I do hope that the T20 world cup goes ahead but a lot relies on the football season in Australia because if there is a case of the virus with any player the season will stop and the finals may get pushed back which then would put a delay on the T20 world cup. I think that is why the football season in Australia has been shortened from 23 games to 17 games just in case the season is stopped and then hopefully there is enough time to finish the season before the start of the world cup.

It was a retarded step from the side of Australian rules football to conduct the Australian Football League, when on average 30,000 people are getting infected per day around the world. This sport involves a high degree of physical contact and therefore it puts the players at a very high risk from contacting the infection. There is still time to cancel this league, but if they don't heed to the requests, then I would ask them to be prepared to face multi-million AUD lawsuits once the outbreak is contained.

^^ For the record, its back-up plan with condition apply * If everything calms down, if not then no IPL

And IMO they have every right to get ready for any possible scenario, considering the fact IPL alone create 1000s of job every year.
Today we have first good news as in China first time happen no new case about Corona in 24 hours so lets see now what happen in other countries as few still struggling with this hopefully we will have IPL in June if this is possible any comment about this from any Indian?

I highly doubt that, I believe China are not telling the world the truth with the amount of cases they have and how many new cases are popping up daily. As we know the T20 world cup is played later this year in Australia and right now the AFL is going ahead as they don't want to clash with the world cup so its going to be interesting to see what happens if the AFL is stopped due to the virus and what will happen with the T20 world cup as it might be pushed back which in a way should be okay as it will be the start of the Australian summer.
The problem is , we can never really know what to believe . The journalists out there have to fear the government as well as the virus to freely roam in the field and collect info and publish them . Whatever we see in news is what we should believe .


Everyone is hoping the same that the situation should normalise before the starting of the tournament. The government has put in a lot of efforts in containing the situation and hopefully everything will be at normal very soon.

Is it possible for IPL to be rescheduled in the month of May. I feel by that time the situation will be under control?
Government indeed is putting a lot of efforts but do you think people are? I think not , if you see in Madhya Pradesh how they are protesting against the BJP with respect to elections , how can anyone contain a virus in these situation? It will obviously affect the other fields like sports too .

IPL have to be stopped not just because of no time slot available for players to play if it gets played later from expected date but it should be stopped we do really need entertainment when the whole world is suffering financially,physically? India is not yet faced community spread luckily but if there an outbreak in India then it is going to be uncontrollable.Remember spanish flu caused 14 million people to die in India.

Not possible...

Or at least tough call as almost every team has packed schedule after May so i don't see how BCCI could do that. Aus, England, SA, Windies all playing international cricket so it doesn't make sense.

Reading the situation till now and aftereffects it seems that IPL may be cancelled as scheduling later in the year would be not really a feasible as other countries have their already scheduled tournaments. So they would not be cancelling it because of IPL. Now if they still want to go ahead then quite possible that few good players may not be available if they are already playing some matches with other international team during that course of time. Or else IPL may be just of shorter version where only 1 round happens instead of 2 and finish it quickly by keeping daily 2 matches.

It all depends upon the state how they are following the preventive measures, In Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala the government is taking proactive steps as they shut every schools and any public gatherings including shopping malls and theaters, in Madhya Pradesh there is no reported case so far and the political drama is continuing as the CM resigned today and if they are not taking proactive steps to prevent the spread then they will suffer in the end.

Recently I saw a news about a young guy from Kolkata who is the first person tested positive. He did not heed the request of airport authority to admit himself in the hospital and caused  more people to become suspected coronavirus victims.
This is a problem and similar thing happened in Kerala as a family travelling from Italy hide their travel history while filling up the forms in the airport and skipped everything and they started the second spread and these stupid people came in contact with many people and they were not even willing to get admitted in hospital but the government has taken the proactive step to prevent further spread.

Educated individuals from the elite society are acting like illeterates in india.
If the government plans to register Culpable homicide or involuntary manslaughter for anyone causing these spread by hiding and sneaking through check points in airports then these kind of issues will be sorted.

That is true there have been lot of reports on the media how people within the country are behaving. Recently I saw a news about a young guy from Kolkata who is the first person tested positive. He did not heed the request of airport authority to admit himself in the hospital and caused  more people to become suspected coronavirus victims.

@JSRAW you’re right as IPL authorities are within their rights to prepare for the tournament, because if the virus issues ease then their backup plan can be put in action. @vella85 I feel the situation shall normalise before the T20 World Cup starts, otherwise we will be starring at the possibility of missing out on watching the T20 World Cup which will be really sad.

These BCCI guys are outright retarded or what? With the Coronavirus situation worsening with every passing day, how they are planning to conduct this tournament in just around a month from now? Will they be ready to compensate everyone, in case they catch COVID 19 during the tournament? IMO, BCCI should just cancel this year's edition and refund the TV revenue, sponsorship and franchise fee. I know it is going to be hard for the BCCI to part with money... but trust me, this is going to be the best option available for them.
We have not seen any situation like these in the past and it all depends upon how the virus can be controlled and i am not sure about the situation in India but considering that all of the major tournaments are cancelled they are also taking proactive steps and if the situation is not under control then the IPL will be cancelled altogether and that is the case with other sporting events.

And IMO they have every right to get ready for any possible scenario, considering the fact IPL alone create 1000s of job every year.
IPL is a high profile tournament but the fate depends upon how the virus is controlled globally and with the situation in Europe the situation is getting worse as days pass by, until the virus is contained i am not expecting them to carry on with the plan of conducting the IPL even if it provides many jobs and opportunities.
