India Today
Days after the suspension of the IPL 2021, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly admitted that it is difficult to say how the novel coronavirus entered the bubble.
Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly opened up on the suspension of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, saying it is difficult to say how the novel coronavirus breached the secure IPL bio bubble. Ganguly also revealed that they initially got a report which stated that there was no bubble breach. The BCCI president also said that the board took the decision to hold IPL 2021 in India across multiple cities, as there were only a few cases in the country at the time. Earlier on Tuesday, the BCCI decided to suspend the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for an indefinite period after four players tested positive for Covid-19. The announcement came after Delhi Capitals' Amit Mishra and Sunrisers Hyderabad's Wriddhiman Saha tested COVID-19 positive. Only 29 matches were played in the 60-match tournament which was scheduled to be played until May 30 in Ahmedabad.More Related News
