A lot will depend on the IPL- BCCI Official

Earlier, Arun Dhumal, the treasurer of the BCCI, had said that a lot will depend on the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League.

The 13th edition of IPL will take place in the United Arab Emirates between September 19-November 10.

“We will discuss it since the IPL is happening now. A lot will depend on the success of IPL as well. Title sponsorship deal (of Rs 222 crore) is not that huge compared to previous one (Vivo’s Rs 440 crore). So let’s see what can be done with minimum damage,” the official added.

Meanwhile, the cricket boards of countries like England, Australia, New Zealand and West Indies have already reduced the salaries of players and staff.
