Its Official! IPL 2021 Moved To UAE: BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla

Mumbai: The 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) which was postponed on May 4 after a couple of bio-bubble breaches has been moved to the UAE, confirms BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI ) and IPL Governing Council unanimously decided to halt the tournament considering the safety of the players in mind. The decision came after a couple of bio-bubble breaches with cricketers and support staffs testing COVID19 positive.

Ever since the tournament came to a premature halt, speculations have been going around when and where will BCCI host the remainder of IPL 2021. The BCCI stakeholders met in a Special General Meeting (SGM) earlier today where it was decided that the second half of IPL 2021 will take place in the UAE. Incidentally, UAE remains to be a tested venue after hosting IPL 2020 completely.
