TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 The IPL organisers have announced a three-phase schedule for this season's tournament: the first 16 matches of the IPL will be held in the UAE from April 16, the next phase between May 1 and 12 will be in Bangladesh if the Indian Home Ministry is unable to provide security, and the last section will be held in India ending on June 1. South Africa had been considered as one of the alternate venues for the IPL, especially after the 2009 season was shifted there, but it will not host any matches this season. The tournament was forced to at least partly shift out of India due to federal elections in the country, which meant the government couldn't provide the necessary security to the IPL. "For the period from Thursday 1st May to Monday 12th May, BCCI has approached the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, seeking permission to play IPL matches in India in cities where the polling has concluded in the respective state," an IPL release said. "If it is not possible to play in India during this period, IPL matches will be held in Bangladesh." The final phase of the Indian elections is on May 12, after which the IPL will return to India. "From Tuesday 13th May (once polling has concluded in all states), the remaining league matches plus the Playoffs will be played in India," the release said. "There will be no matches scheduled on the counting day of Friday, 16th May."
Sidhoni Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Why don't they keep it till May 13 in UAE only rather than going to Bangladesh?
Precambrian Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Why don't they keep it till May 13 in UAE only rather than going to Bangladesh? Cost factors I think Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
diga Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 UAE.. does that mean Sharjah & land of Dawood? :hmmm: Srini back to his aukaad
rageaddict Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 And we have always been bragging to the Pakis about how our " Clean Board " doesnt want our " Clean Team " to play in the UAE as its the hub of match fixing but when it comes to IPL the BCCI is ready to host an already Dodgy Tournament at a Dodgy Venue. How nice !!!!!!! I have full confidence that the entire tournament will be played with no more corruption .

Straight Drive Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 UAE is a bad choice.More phiksing likely this time than all previous editions :nervous:
CG Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I think the main criteria for selecting venues must have been places where betting was rampant.
diga Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I think the main criteria for selecting venues must have been places where betting was rampant. Is UAE one?
Crookbond Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Why don't they keep it till May 13 in UAE only rather than going to Bangladesh? I think the main criteria for selecting venues must have been places where betting was rampant. Non taxable income is the reason.
Austin 3:!6 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 BCCI kis janam ka badla le raha hai PCB se :phehehe: Epic trolling
Sachin=GOD Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Non taxable income is the reason. and cost savings for the players - they won't have to use ISD while calling bookies.
helperononline Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Non taxable income is the reason. if they keep IPL outside india i dont think we will have any income for tax and cost savings for the players - they won't have to use ISD while calling bookies. :yay: :yay:
Crookbond Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 if they keep IPL outside india i dont think we will have any income for tax It's not about tax in India, it is about tax abroad. UAE has some good tax laws for cricket - one of the reasons why ICC shifted its HQ from London to Dubai, UAE around 2005. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/4326601.stm
someone Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 What a poor decision. Seems $$$ is the only thing on their minds.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 so will Pakistanis now be allowed? :hysterical: Paisa badh jaayega
King Tendulkar Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 UAE then bangla then finally india What a joke
