Former India cricket captain and Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) president Mohammad Azharuddin said on Sunday that if the Kovid-19 cases are to be lifted, the Cricket Board (BCCI) will be able to deliver it to their state. Facilities can be used. The BCCI has asked Indore and Hyderabad to prepare for the upcoming IPL as a ‘standby’ in the wake of the rapid rise of Kovid-19 cases in Mumbai. Mumbai need to host 10 matches. The situation was further exacerbated after the 10 groundsmen at Wankhede Stadium and six managers in competition management became Kovid-19 positive.
Azharuddin wrote on Twitter, “This difficult time is another reason for everyone to come together. The Hyderabad Cricket Association wants to give its facilities to the BCCI to ensure IPL 2021 is safe. An official told PTI on Saturday, “Look, if a lockdown happens, teams are in the bio. Safe atmosphere and spectators are not allowed to come to the stadium anyway. So we still expect IPL matches to be played in Mumbai as per pre-schedule”.

He said that if the situation goes out of control, it will stop Hyderabad and Indore. But in the event of a lockdown, the organization of the matches will be much easier because the crowd will be controlled outside the venue. Mumbai currently has Delhi Capital, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings but no teams have gone to Wankhede. “The Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings are practicing at the Brabourne Stadium and Bandra Kurla Complex grounds,” the official said. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) practiced at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai before heading to Chennai. “The first match in Mumbai will take place between former runners-up Delhi Capitals on April 10 and three-time champion Chennai Super Kings.
