IPL 2020 had to be shifted to UAE due rising fear of COVID-19 pandemic in India. However, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that a vaccine will be out soon allowing them to host the next edition in India.

This year the fans had to wait for while to watch the IPL. The coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown had indefinitely postponed this year’s IPL.

With new surge of positive cases in India, the tournament was on the verge of cancellation. Finally, BCCI identified the UAE an a viable option to host this year’s IPL.

This year’s edition has been massive success and has achieved a lot of popularity. However, fans are wondering when the T20 extravaganza would return to India. At present, the possibility of watching cricket matches in stadiums is rather slim.

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has also expressed hope of getting the tournament back to the country next year.

“Hopefully the vaccine will be out by that time and we can host it,” he said. This year’s season is almost coming to an end with the league-level matches over. The top four teams are all set battle it out in the Playoffs.

Ganguly, however, has added that the the board will take a call on next year’s edition after IPL 2020 comes to an end.

“We haven’t decided anything yet. Let this season conclude, we will take a call,” he said. He also confirmed that the domestic season will begin from next year.
