I was shocked to hear that the IPL was going to held elsewhere other than INDIA. I got the news from Yahoo!
Cricket's lucrative Indian Premier League will be organised
abroad this year as the government says it can not provide security at the same
time as national elections, an official said on Sunday. "Due to the attitude of
the government that it cannot provide security for the tournament, we are forced
to take a decision to move the IPL out of India," the country's cricket chief
Shashank Manohar told reporters here.
"A final decision on the venue will be
announced in two to three days."
South Africa and England are the two
countries being considered as the likely venues, an IPL source told AFP.
IPL
commissioner Lalit Modi told reporters at the same media briefing that the
59-match tournament would be held between April 10 and May 24.
