IPL may move to South Africa
South Africa could end up hosting next year's IPL if the cash-rich T20 tournament is taken out of India due to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. BCCI mandarins have informally discussed alternative venues, but a clear picture will emerge once the election dates are announced, board insiders told to PTI.
New Delhi (PTI): South Africa could end up hosting next year's IPL if the cash-rich T20 tournament is taken out of India due to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. BCCI mandarins have informally discussed alternative venues, but a clear picture will emerge once the election dates are announced, board insiders told to PTI. The IPL's calendar in April-May next year is likely to clash with the poll schedule.
In the backdrop of the current impasse between BCCI and Cricket South Africa CEO Haroon Lorgat, it's a move which seems contradictory. But sources said South Africa's chances of hosting the IPL are quite good if the board needs an off-shore venue. "The Lorgat issue is there but SA still are hot favourites. The new IPL chairman will also have a vote," a top BCCI official told TOI on Tuesday.
