The BCCI is set to conduct the 2022 IPL from the last week of March to end of May and efforts would be made to host the lucrative event in India as per the wishes of team owners, Board secretary Jay Shah said on Saturday.
If sources are to be believed, the tentative start date is March 27. “I am delighted to confirm that the 15th season of the IPL will start in the last week of March and will run until May end. A majority of the team owners expressed their wish that the tournament be held in India,” Shah was quoted as saying in a press note issued by the BCCI. He also made it clear that the board’s first preference is to hold the event in India.
“The BCCI was always keen on staging the 2022 edition that will see two new teams— Ahmedabad and Lucknow—in India,” Shah said. Meanwhile, India batsman Shreyas Iyer and spinner Yuzvendra Chahal along with Australoan dasher David Warner are expected to be the top draws as over 1,200 players registered themselves for the IPL mega auction scheduled for next month. The big names to miss out are Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Mitchell Strac, Sam Curran and Chris Gayle.
