IPL 2021: UK, UAE and Australia as feasible venues for remaining matches

BCCI considers UK, UAE and Australia as possible venues for the remaining IPL 2021 matches

Following the postponement of IPL 2021, the question on the minds of all cricket fans is when and where the remaining games will be played. According to reports, the BCCI is considering to organize the remaining matches ahead of the T20 World Cup in India this year. Looking at the current situation of Corona in India, it is very unlikely that this tournament will be played in this country. The UAE is currently the safest route, reserved for the T20 World Cup. However, according to several media reports, the remaining IPL 2021 matches could also be moved to England or Australia.

According to the ‘Times of India’ news, outside the UAE, the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) could be played in England and Australia. A BCCI source, in an interview with the Times of India, said, "It should be played overseas." Some suggestions have already been received. The BCCI needs to consider that alone. IPL 2020 was also held in the UAE and there was no respite from the bio-bubble environment. In view of the growing spread of the Corona virus in India, the ICC will decide in July whether or not the T20 World Cup will be played in India or not. There are great opportunities of remaining IPL 2021 to be in the UAE. In that case, IPL 2021 matches before the World Cup can be scheduled there

England also seem to be a good way to host the remaining games of the IPL 2021. In the UAE, there is a lot of heat in mid-September, so England can also focus. Next month, the Indian team will head to England, where the team will play in the final of the World Test Championship. After that the Indian team will play a 5-match Test against England. The source said while speaking, 'The weather will be good for cricket. This will also be useful for broadcasters, as time can be adjusted and foreign players will also choose to go to England instead of India.

The IPL 2021 could also be switched to Australia, but its chances are very slim. If Corona's trauma continues like this,then BCCI Cricket could choose Cricket Australia to host the T20 World Cup this year and orhanize World Cup in India next year. If Cricket Australia agrees with this, then the remaining IPL 2021 matches can be held in Australia prior to World Cup. This could also provide a good opportunity for Indian players to prepare.
