The Indian Premier League Governing Council (IPL GC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in an emergency meeting has unanimously decided to postpone IPL 2021 season, with immediate effect.
The BCCI does not want to compromise on the safety of the players, support staff and the other participants involved in organising the IPL. This decision was taken keeping the safety, health and wellbeing of all the stakeholders in mind.
These are difficult times, especially in India and while we have tried to bring in some positivity and cheer, however, it is imperative that the tournament is now suspended and everyone goes back to their families and loved ones in these trying times.
The BCCI will do everything in its powers to arrange for the secure and safe passage of all the participants in IPL 2021.
The BCCI would like to thank all the healthcare workers, state associations, players, support staff, franchises, sponsors, partners and all the service providers who have tried their best to organise IPL 2021 even in these extremely difficult times.
@swaris16Sarah always loved storytelling and cricket gave her the opportunity to narrate tales about the beautiful sport while allowing her to immerse into insightful cricket analysis. She started following cricket as a teenager, with the emotions of the game along with it’s captivating ebbs and flows.
Over the years, she has covered a wide range of sports, but cricket holds a special place in her heart. Writing about cricket began as a hobby where she would contribute articles to school magazines. Little did she expect to find her bylines on some of the most prestigious sports publications a few years on.
Sarah doesn’t shy away from voicing her opinions, especially the unpopular ones. It doesn’t matter whether is it MS Dhoni or Rohit Sharma, she has speared none, despite being on the receiving end of some social media trolls.
Kohli is the GOAT, but Leander Paes is Sarah’s all-time favourite sporting hero. She believes in the power of sports to unite people and create unforgettable moments, and ever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of that journey.
Sarah’s love for food is second only to Cricket. If not watching a game, she’s cooking, baking, or trying out items on the menu not many would dare to. Ever had Prawn Kheer? That’s me.
