"Is UAE the Venue? Are Dates Confirmed?" - IPL GC Chairman Brijesh Patel 'CLARIFIES' on Conducting IPL2020!

IPL Governing Council’s Chairman Brijesh Patel has confirmed that IPL 2020 will take place in the UAE. This 13th edition will be a full-fledged tournament, he revealed.
On Monday, ICC announced the postponement of T20 World Cup. The tournament was scheduled to be held in Australia from October-November 2020. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this tournament has been postponed to 2021.
“The IPL GC will meet within a week or 10 days and all decisions (including final schedule) will be taken there. As of now, the plan is to have a full-fledged IPL comprising 60 games and most likely in the UAE,” Patel told PTI. “Just the operational side of it [is a challenge]. Whether you do it here or outside, it doesn’t matter (with no crowds).”
Reports have also suggested that IPL 2020 is likely to take place from September 26 to November 8, providing a 40 day window to conduct nearly 66 matches.
“We will do that now. UAE had anyway offered to host the tournament, now we will confirm them now. But before that, we need to confirm the dates and inform the Emirates Cricket Board accordingly. For now, no dates have been locked,” Patel told Sportstar.
“UAE is well-organised in terms of infrastructure. We have played there before, so we are aware of the facilities. The Asia Cup has been played there. It has also hosted other international fixtures in the past. So, in terms of cricketing infrastructure, they have everything. There are also enough hotels.”
