Former England spinner Monty Panesar has said that if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is thinking of organizing the remaining matches of the 14th season of the IPL in September in England, then it should think again because This may threaten the brand value of IPL.
India will conclude their five-match Test series in England on 14 September and there are reports that the month-long window between the end of that series and the T20 World Cup could be ideal for hosting the remaining 31 matches of the IPL, which will be held by four The franchise was postponed this month due to Covid-19 cases.
The former left-arm spinner on a YouTube show Sports Yari said, "The IPL should not be held in England in September as there will be a lot of rain." Too many gaps will spoil the fun of the tournament. If India is not able to control the epidemic, it should be conducted in the United Arab Emirates, as weather conditions play a very large role.
Panesar said, when it rains in England, it ruins the match. You will see that a T20 match has been reduced to 15 overs and then to 10 overs. We do not want this to happen with IPL as it will hit its brand value. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has apparently made an informal request to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to change the schedule of the Test series to provide a window for the IPL; however, this is not likely to happen.
The BCCI has the option of holding the tournament in the UAE in a month-long interval between India's series in England and the T20 World Cup. In 2020 too, BCCI had it done in UAE, which was quite successful.
