Earlier this month, IPL 2021 was postponed indefinitely as coronavirus cases increased. Now the BCCI has called for an Emergency Special General Meeting (SGM) on May 29. The location of the remaining matches of the IPL 2021 and whether the T20 World Cup will be held in India this year remains to be discussed. This meeting will be held in a virtual manner. The BCCI has placed the UAE as the backup of the T20 World Cup and now reports suggest that the remaining matches of the IPL 2021 could be played in England.

According to a report by the Times of India, ‘India is still trying to host a T20 World Cup in India this year, but if things change due to the corona virus, it will be decided after June. Take it. ‘The UK is in the top spot when it comes to hosting the rest of the IPL 2021,’ the report said. This is because India need to play a five-match Test series against England after playing the final of the World Test Championship against New Zealand.

It said the dates for the Test series could be changed with the BCCI, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). For this, both boards are currently debating. However, nothing has been officially said yet. The BCCI wants the ECB to do whatever it takes to make changes to the test series, as county teams can earn from it. The board knows that the cost of the remaining matches of the IPL 2021 in England will increase its costs, so the board also has two backup options in the form of the UAE and Sri Lanka.
