On Thursday, India’s apex cricketing body, the BCCI has announced that the 13th season of IPL has been postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic outbreak of the Corona Virus across the globe.  Talking with a radio house, Royal Challengers Bangalore head coach Simon Katich says his team will be happy if the tournament is shifted. Especially if another country is South Africa or Australia. Katich mentions if the tournament is shifted out of India, it will prove advantageous for RCB as many of their international players hail from Australia or South Africa.

“Whether it (IPL) would be in Australia [or elsewhere], that’s an interesting topic of conversation. There would be a few teams – us in particular, we’d be very happy for it to be played abroad. Because a number of our overseas players are Australian and South African. They really would enjoy these conditions in Australia. It would be interesting to see if that would eventuate but obviously it’s one of many scenarios that’s being discussed.” Katich said.
