London, May 11 : Even as the Indian cricket board hopes to complete remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL), possibly at an overseas destination, the English board has put its foot down in favour of international cricket, ruling out the possibility of English cricketers playing in the league. We re planning on the involvement of England players in England matches. We ve got a full FTP schedule. So if those tours to Pakistan and Bangladesh [in September and October] are going ahead, I d expect the players to be there, England men s director of cricket Ashley Giles told British media here.

NEW DELHI: India’s cricket board is hoping it might be able to squeeze the remainder of its lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) into a crowded calendar and is still confident of hosting the T20 World Cup later this year, a top official said on Thursday.
Already looking at a $270 million revenue loss following the suspension of the IPL, the board faces a second financial hammer blow if the CovidD-19 pandemic prevents India staging the ICC tournament in October and November.

NEW DELHI: India’s cricket board is hoping it might be able to squeeze the remainder of its lucrative Indian Premier League into a crowded calendar and is still confident of hosting the T20 World Cup later this year, a top official said Thursday. Already looking at a $270 million revenue loss following the suspension of the IPL, the board faces a second financial hammer blow if the COVID-19 pandemic prevents India staging the ICC tournament in October and November. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), however, has not given up hope of cramming the 31 remaining IPL matches into the season, despite the tight demands of cricket’s international schedule, known as the Future Tours Programme (FTP).

South Africa’s scheduled visit to the Caribbean could be in jeopardy after Cricket South Africa’s (CSA) highest authority reneged on an agreement to adopt a new constitution.
West Indies are due to host the Proteas for two Tests and five T20Is in June, but by then they may not be the country’s officially recognised team.
And tonight, Barbados Cricket Association board member and director Roland Butcher told Barbados TODAY that the current conflict in South African could mean that the tour would likely be called off which would be unfortunate for the West Indies.
Butcher explained that the Future Tours Programme allowed the home team to get their finances when playing at home but they get nothing when playing away.
