SLC’s proposal of hosting IPL 2020 will help them bring more cash flow into the Island nation. However, the possibility of the tournament happening is bleak due to the worldwide lockdown.

According to recent developments, Sri Lanka Cricket has contacted Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI),  for the possibility of resuming cricketing activities with a bilateral series between them in July. According to ICC’s FTP, The Men in Blue were slated to tour Sri Lanka in July. The Indian team was expected to play three ODIs and the T20Is against the Lankans.

Sri Lanka Cricket has expressed his desire to go ahead with the series and play the tournament in late July. Currently, the fellow subcontinent team is waiting for a response from BCCI.  If the series goes ahead as scheduled, it will be organized behind closed doors. Such actions will be taken to avoid mass gatherings of fans in a single place. The cricketers from both sides will also have to follow strict rules and regulations if the matches happen.
