IPL To Be Held In UAE From September 19 To November 8: Chairman Brijesh Patel

The 2020 Indian Premier League will be held in the UAE from September 19 with the final to be held on November 8, IPL Chairman Brijesh Patel told PTI. The IPL Governing Council will meet next week to finalise the details and approve the schedule with the BCCI already informing the franchises about the plan.

"We are making the SOP and it will be ready in a few days. To allow crowd or not depends on the UAE government. Anyway social distancing has to be maintained. We have left it for their government to decide on that. Will also be writing to the UAE board formally," Patel said. The UAE houses three cricket stadiums in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
