CHENNAI: With the latest government order from the Centre prohibiting sporting events in August, the Tamil Nadu Premier League’s (TNPL) last hope of running the fifth edition has all but ended, Sportstar reports.
The TNPL was originally supposed to have been held between June 10 and July 12 before it was postponed because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
“We were hoping to get some relaxation after July, but now that no sporting events are allowed for another month, the window seems to have closed,” a senior Tamil Nadu Cricket Association official told Sportstar.
“It is unfortunate, especially considering we now have floodlights ready at Salem and Coimbatore as well which takes the total number of grounds with lights to five in the State,” the official added.
