BCCI president Sourav Ganguly reckons that official updates on IPL can be expected to be announced by Monday once he has a conversation with the other office-bearers of BCCI. The BCCI suspended the IPL till April 15 which was originally scheduled to take place from March 29 after the government suspended all visas, barring few categories like diplomatic and employment, making it impossible for foreign players to participate.
As per the quotes in the New Indian Express, Ganguly said, “I will be able to give an update on that on Monday after speaking to the other office-bearers (of BCCI). But practically speaking, when life has come to a standstill everywhere in the world, where does sport have a future in this.”
Sourav termed the current coronavirus crisis as ‘terrible’, saying that he has never experienced anything like this in his entire life.
