IPL Restart Update

In an interview, Sourav Ganguly confirmed that India will play three ODIs and five T20Is against the southern neighbor, Sri Lanka in July. The tour which will be hosted, after the Indian team is back from England, after concluding their series against the New Zealand team, will fly to Sri Lanka. It can’t just happen in India, seeing the conditions, a hazard restriction like a 14-day quarantine is very stressful for the players & it is highly likely that any series or the T20 WC, scheduled in India, will happen here. while asked about the IPL- Ganguly has also hinted that the remainder of the IPL, is not going to happen anytime soon. He says- that it’s very early to find a slot for the IPL, to happen. The chief also said that the bubble is highly required, as there can be no sport played without the bubble. He also said that- “Bubble life is harsh; it’s the toughest thing. Since last September, a majority of players around the world have been living inside a bubble. There is no option. We can’t play cricket without the bubble.”
