Background
The Board of Control for Cricket in India had successfully hosted IPL 2020 in the United Arab Emirates during the September-November window. The popular cricket league had to be shifted out of India due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the country.
After hosting the tournament safely and successfully last year with all safety protocols and bubble arrangements in place, the BCCI is again confident of hosting IPL at home keeping the health and safety of all players and officials involved at top priority.
