New Delhi [India], May 19 (ANI/NewsVoir): The Indian Premier League has been put on hold since India experienced a significant record rise of infections, causing a revived health emergency of national proportions. Delhi Capitals partner and global broker OctaFX contributes to the latest relief efforts.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been halted indefinitely because the COVID-19 pandemic has reached another severe peak. Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia speaks of an 'overwhelmed' healthcare situation and appeals to the nation's military for additional help.
The indefinite suspension paused this important annual cricket event at 29 completed matches - out of a planned 60 matches. Some Indian sources express hope for the league to resume in September 2021, the probability of which creeps towards uncertainty.
