BCCI Sources Reveal IPL Dates! When is it Starting? Final Dates and other Details
Home > News Shots > Sports newsThe Indian Premier League (IPL) will start on September 19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and final is likely to be held on November 8, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) sources told news agency PTI.
While the IPL governing council might be meeting next week to approve the schedule and settle on the final details. Reportedly, BCCI has informally informed franchises about this plan.
"IPL in all likelihood will start on September 19 (Saturday) and the final will be held on November 8 (Sunday). It is a 51-day window which will suit the franchises as well as the broadcasters and other stakeholders," a senior BCCI official told PTI.
Earlier there were speculations that IPL might begin from September 26. The BCCI reportedly has decided to conduct it a week earlier to ensure that the Indian team’s tour of Australia is not affected.
"The best part is that 51 days is not at all a curtailed period and there will be much less double headers. We could stick to original five double headers in seven-week window," the official said.
“It is expected that with each and every team needing at least a month's time to train, the franchises will be leaving base by August 20 which gives them exactly four weeks' time to prepare,” Moneycontrol reported.
