NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is mulling various options to stage the thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League, with the possibility of staging the IPL outside the country being their last resort.
“The board is looking at all options. If it comes to taking IPL out of India, it may happen but as the last option,” a BCCI source told ANI.
“If that’s the only option then we will consider it. We have done it in the past also and we can do it again but the first preference will be to host it in India,” the source added (stating the obvious).
For the record, the IPL has been held outside India twice in the past, both times because of a clash with the general elections> IPL 2009 was hosted by South Africa and the 2014 edition was co-staged in India and UAE.
