The BCCI is also yet to decide whether the IPL will happen in India or not even though Board President Sourav Ganguly has repeatedly asserted that everything possible would be done to keep the glitzy event at its home.

If India’s home series against England, which starts from next month, goes off smoothly, as BCCI has asked the TNCA and Gujarat Cricket Association to check if 50% crowd can be allowed in the stadiums for the Test matches, it should pave the way for the lucrative league to be held at home.
