As India is showing a steady increase in the number of COVID-19 cases, reports have emerged that the 13 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is likely to be cancelled and the 2021 edition will not have a mega auction.

“IPL will not happen this year. It will now happen next year. We all know how the situation is at the moment in the country and no one will take any risk. One can’t have social distancing in the stadium. It’s better to play IPL next year.

“Also, no mega auction will take place. We will inform the franchises once we get final confirmation from the Indian government, the same season can continue next season,” a source in the IPL administration was quoted as saying by Indian Express.

Earlier the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was forced to postpone the league to April following the COVID-19 outbreak. BCCI president Sourav Ganguly had then hoped to see a truncated IPL.
