New Delhi, Feb 17 : The Indian Cricket Board is contemplating allowing fans for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), said president Sourav Ganguly.
While dates are yet to be officially announced for the IPL’s 2021 edition, it is expected to be held between the months of April and May.
The player auction will be held on Thursday.
“It’s a small auction but I think a lot of teams will have a lot of work to do. It was unbelievable the way it went in the UAE amid all the Covid scare in the months of October and November,” Ganguly told Star Sports.
“It got amazing ratings, the best in the last 13 years. This year it is going to be big as well. We’ll see if we can get crowds back into the IPL. That’s a decision we will have to take shortly,” he said.
Ganguly said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was keen on having crowds for India’s first Test against England, which was the first cricket to be held in the country in over a year.
