BCCI will cover up further outbreaks and as long as there are enough players to field a side the show goes on. I don’t agree with it, but it will be the most Indian thing ever.

Texan Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 At the time when they decided to host it in India, case counts were low and nobody was really expecting this huge onslaught of new cases. So I wouldn't fault them for attempting to host this in India. cricketfan28, beetle and raki05 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ipl-2021-amid-covid-19-concerns-ipl-may-shift-entirely-to-mumbai-1262252 Relocating the IPL to Mumbai has emerged as a serious option for the BCCI as it looks to minimise the risks after several Covid-19 related cases were reported from both the venues currently hosting the tournament. If things go to plan, Mumbai could be hosting matches as early as the coming weekend. This will necessitate a rejigged tournament schedule, with multiple doubleheaders. There is also a likelihood of the IPL final being moved from May 30 to early June. Cricspin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollingstoned Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 when the cases started mounting they should have tried moving it to areas where the cases are low/not much while simultaneously not allowing it to go on for over a month like usual. whether those areas have the infrastructure to support so many teams and the other staff needed is another matter though. I'm talking places like Dharamshala, Guwahati, Vizag etc. Large metros are obviously going to be badly beset. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that many countries like Australia have closed all flights from India and they are not making exceptions for players. So the players have no where to go even of they wanted to Edited May 4, 2021 by New guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumbai has the lowest number of daily cases now among all Metros and the number of cases are declining very sharply. 2600 daily cases compared to 18 k in Delhi and 22 k in Bangalore. Vaccination is in full swing and situation continues to improve , plus Mumbai has 3 venues to organize matches . Wankhede was already in use , now Braboune and DY Patil stadium have to be made match ready for hosting 2 matches per day.
