Meanwhile, the postponement of the T20 World Cup will open a window for the much-talked-about Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 with the BCCI keen on conducting the cash-rich tournament be it in India or overseas. The UAE and Sri Lanka have already come forward in a bid to host the IPL 2020 and it will be interesting to see which option the BCCI picks.
