(UTV | INDIA) – The Indian Premier League is reportedly set to resume in the United Arab Emirates in the third week of September.
The Times of India reports that the lucrative competition will cram 10 double-header matches into a three-week window culminating in early October.
It means there will be no clash with India’s tour of England, with the final Test match scheduled to finish on September 14, around four days before the reported restart.
An October finish would run directly into the window for the T20 World Cup, which could yet also be played in the UAE.
The IPL was postponed in early May after a number of players tested positive for the virus, and there remain 31 matches in the season still to play.
