The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to introduce a miniature overseas version of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in September with all the eight teams set to participate.
According to The Hindu report, “In the month of September, the BCCI is willing to host a mini IPL or IPL overseas with all the eight teams participating,” BCCI president Anurag Thakur said at the conclusion of the Board’s Working Committee meeting in Dharamsala.
“It will be a shorter format, not home and away matches but a lesser number of matches. In a two-week window we should be able to complete it,” he said.
The IPL organizers are looking at different venues across the globe for the new tournament.
However, the details of the shortened version of IPL are yet to be chalked out and possible venues are US and UAE, which has already hosted part of the IPL in 2014.
