IPL 2020 was scheduled to start on March 29 with the blockbuster clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. At first, the BCCI suspended the league till mid-April before suspending it indefinitely in the light of the pandemic.

Well, it looks like cricket fans will see some action soon. Team India could be in action as early as in July if everything goes well from now on. Sri Lanka Cricket has sent an e-mail to the BCCI, requesting the possibility of resuming bilateral series between both the sides in July.

The Virat Kohli-led side was scheduled to tour the Island nation in July for three ODIs and as many T20Is. But in the prevalent situation, there are some apprehensions over the series. Well, Sri Lanka Cricket has now shown the willingness to start the action at the earliest and have asked the BCCI to co-operate.
