NEW DELHI: This year’s suspended IPL cannot be completed in India while it battles a raging coronavirus crisis and could struggle to find a slot elsewhere, India’s cricket chief Sourav Ganguly has said.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) was abruptly halted at the halfway stage last week after several players became infected. India is reporting nearly 4,000 deaths and about 400,000 new cases a day.
Ganguly, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said there was no way for the lucrative tournament to resume before India play the final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand in England on June 18.
