IPL 2020 can happen in Oct-Nov if World T20 is postponed: BCCI official

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to host the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 during the October-November window, if the ICC T20 World Cup is postponed, Times of India reported.

According to a BCCI official, the IPL 2020 will only be possible if the World T20, scheduled from October 18 to November 15, moves to a later date.

However, it is highly unlikely as the next available time for the World Cup will be in 2022. 

"We are still to understand what the Indian government will decide with regards to closing the international borders. In such a scenario, the only window that looks safe is the October-November one. But again, that collides with the T20 World Cup," the official said. 

“Again, it would be the last step for the ICC to push the T20 World Cup from 2020 to 2022 because there is no window in 2021. So, at the moment, it is all a bit too far-fetched to be honest."
