IPL 2020: Schedule, venues, format and other frequently asked questions

The Indian Premier League’s (IPL) 13th edition was to be played from March to May but it didn’t take off as life came to a screeching halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, six months later, the tournament is all set to return, albeit in UAE due to the growing cases of the COVID-19 in India. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has formulated a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to create a bio-secure environment in the UAE to conduct the tournament safely. The SOPs mandate quarantine, multiple tests before entering the bio-bubble, another 14-day quarantine and further tests for members testing positive for COVID-19, strict social distancing, wearing masks regularly while being in the bubble, and other cricketing restrictions like not using saliva to shine the ball, which has become part of the ’new normal’.
