The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to lock in a three-week window between September 15 and October 15 for the resumption of the currently-suspended IPL 2021 in the UAE, when it holds a Special General Meeting (SGM) virtually on Saturday (May 29). The agenda of the meeting is “discussing on the upcoming cricket season in the view of pandemic prevailing in India”. The wider scope of the agenda permits the members to also discuss the ICC T20 World Cup and the much-delayed compensation package for domestic cricketers for the cancelled last Ranji Trophy season. BCCI also wants to host the T20 World Cup in India and during the June 1 ICC Board meet, it would ask the global body to wait on the COVID-19 situation here before any call is taken.
