The next IPL season is likely to be a bit longer as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is mulling the option of having more nig🎶ht games.
The BCCI is together working on a plan where each team plays only one day game in the entire season and fewer double-headers on weekends. With the IPL having a full 60 day-window, a propose﷽d schedule will be put to the new IPL Governing Council in the upc𝄹oming week.
The IPL 202൩0 is likely to start on April 1 and could end by Mꦍay 30.
However, there is no clarity over 🌠whether the new BCCI regime will maintain the 15-day gap between the end of IPL and the India’s next international assignment, as the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators had done during its time in charge.
Meanwhile, the BCCI has approached the Cri꧋cket Club of India (CCI) with an offer to host the IPL opening ceremony next year.
It is likely that the opening ceremony will not be held on the same day as the first match. The CoA in 2018 organized opening ceremonies at all the venues, but this year decided not to do so and the money thus saved was ear🦩marked for families of CRPF personnel killed in the Pulwama attack.
The IPL 2019 ceremony was a token affair that had low-ꦍbudget entertainer ahead of the season op🍬ener between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
