According to reports, shifting the league to UK seems the best option as UAE&nbsp;would be too hot in September and Australian government would have to revise its travel&nbsp;policies.

BCCI's Anti Corruption Unit chief&nbsp;told PTI&nbsp;that a&nbsp;potential corruptor, disguised as a cleaner, was spotted at New Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium during the recently-suspended Indian Premier League.

Following the postponement&nbsp;of IPL&nbsp;2021 due to Covid-19, fingers are being pointed at the way BCCI&nbsp;managed its bio-bubble. Indian board's efforts to create a safe environment clearly fell apart as Covid-19 invaded the team bubbles. But what caused this breach? Well, there may be many reasons.
1) The 2020 IPL&nbsp;which happened in the UAE&nbsp;was manage by&nbsp;a professional company well versed in trackable devices and bio-secure solutions. This time, IPL decided to manage&nbsp;a bio-secure bubble of its own by listing down its set of hospital vendors and testing labs to replicate the process which failed.&nbsp;
2) BCCI&nbsp;decided to host the games in multiple cities hit by the Coronavirus&nbsp;and air travel was the biggest issue. According to reports,&nbsp;Saha, Balaji and Mishra contracted the virus while travelling from Mumbai to Delhi, coming through the airport terminus. Teams had demanded a tarmac access for state government which was denied and thus ran the risk of being exposed. There was no air travel in UAE.
 3) The&nbsp;tracking device worn by players all the time was faulty. It was purchased from a Chennai-based company which couldn't track the movement of the players.&nbsp;
 4) Testing and quarantine protocols were not good enough for members outside the bubble. Groundsmen, hotel staff, ground catering, net bowlers, DJ, drivers' testing process wasn't robust as last time. It is reported that each franchise created its own bubble for its own members and staff, instead of a central protocol.
 5) Last but not the least, BCCI&nbsp;was reluctant to take the IPL&nbsp;out of India&nbsp;despite clear requests from franchises and even the IPL&nbsp;Governing&nbsp;Council.

Trouble continues to mount for the BCCI as a Public Interest Litigation has been filed against the Indian board by an advocate in the Bombay High Court for staging the IPL&nbsp;during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The plea, filed by advocate Vandana Shah, states that BCCI should be ordered to tender an unconditional apology to Indians for their tone-deaf and arrogant behaviour.&nbsp;The plea also states that BCCI should be asked to supply oxygen and medical supplies worth over Rs 1000 crores, and whatever profit they have made in this corona-ravaged time by holding the IPL.

Big hit for the coffers of BCCI as it's most profitable league the IPL stands cancelled indefinitely. Initial estimates see a Rs 3000 cr hit to BCCI as 3

Big hit for the coffers of BCCI&nbsp;as it's most profitable league the IPL&nbsp;stands cancelled indefinitely. Initial estimates see a Rs 3000 cr hit to BCCI&nbsp;as 31 out of the 60-match tournament were still remaining to be played. On an average the&nbsp;BCCI&nbsp;earns Rs 67 crore from every match broadcast, and per data provided by the sporting board it earned Rs 4000 cr from the IPL&nbsp;in 2020 when it held matches in a similar 'bubble' in the UAE.&nbsp;
The hit for teams comes as the&nbsp;IPL income received by the BCCI is transferred to the central reserve pool, which is then shared equally among the BCCI and IPL franchises. The eight teams would have to forgo at least Rs 1,000 crore in earnings from the central reserve pool. The next hit could come in from sponsorship,&nbsp;title sponsors like Vivo and co-sponsors like Paytm, Tata, Dream11, Unacademy&nbsp;would now only be paying up for half the tournament. Also, individual team sponsors would now rework their payouts as well. Teams reportedly earn revenue between single-digit crores to over Rs 40 crore&nbsp;from individual sponsors.&nbsp;The eight franchises reportedly earn up to Rs 500 crore a year from these sponsorships, which was expected to be around Rs 600 crore this year due to digital rights as well.&nbsp;

With the IPL&nbsp;suspended mid-way due to the Covid-19 pandemic,&nbsp;IPL chairman Brijesh Patel on Tuesday said that&nbsp;the BCCI will&nbsp;find a way to send the league's foreign recruits back to their respective countries.
According to reports,&nbsp;All IPL cricketers have been put in lockdown for 4 days and must pass 3 tests before leaving. However, as reported by ESPNcricinfo, with Australia having suspended all flights from India till May 15, about 40 Australian players, coaches and support staff may fly to&nbsp;Maldives.
Meanwhile, Cricket Australia in a statement said that they are in direct contact with the BCCI&nbsp;as they work towards a safe plan to get the Aussies back home. However, CA also stated that they will not seek exemptions&nbsp;in the government's decision to pause the travel from India.

With Covid-19 invading IPL's&nbsp;highly secured bio-bubbles, resulting in it's indefinite suspension, dark clouds now loom over the future of the world T20 to be played in India later this year.
BCCI&nbsp;was anyway planning for the worst case scenario and moving the World T20 to UAE was a possibility. But with the IPL&nbsp;suspended, the possibility of the marquee event&nbsp;to be taken out of India looks rather strong. The event, comprising of 16 countries, is scheduled to take place between October and November this year, with the final on November 14.
BCCI&nbsp;had last year managed to find a window for the 2020 IPL&nbsp;as that year's World T20 was postponed due to the pandemic.

BCCI&nbsp;vice-president Rajiv&nbsp;Shukla has confirmed that&nbsp;the Indian Premier League has been temporarily&nbsp;suspended after multiple players from different teams tested&nbsp;positive for Covid-19.&nbsp;
SRH's Wriddhiman Saha&nbsp;and Delhi's&nbsp;Amit Mishra Tested positive on Tuesday after KKR's 2 players&nbsp;contracted the virus a day before. CSK's bowling coach Laxmipathy Balaji and a member of the logistics team also&nbsp;returned positive.
BCCI&nbsp;will now reschedule the tournament soon and is trying to shift all matches to Mumbai. It will be a logistical nightmare as pushing the tournament beyond&nbsp;May 30 may not be an option as India plays New Zealand&nbsp;in the World Test Championship final from June 18 in&nbsp;Southampton.

The impact of Covid-19 on the Indian Premier League continues to be felt as Wednesday night's game between Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals and Chennai Super Kings scheduled for 7:30 pm in New Delhi will now be rescheduled according to PTI&nbsp;quoting&nbsp;BCCI&nbsp;sources.&nbsp;As per BCCI's Standard Operating Procedure, anyone who has come in contact with an infected person has to undergo six days of hard quarantine and return three negative RT-PCR reports during the course of it. After CSK's&nbsp;bowling coach and former&nbsp;India speedster L Balaji&nbsp;tested positive, the entire staff and players of the team from Chennai have gone into&nbsp;hard quarantine. This is the 2nd match to be rescheduled due to Covid-19 after Kolkata&nbsp;vs Bangalore game was pushed to a later date after 2 KKR&nbsp;players tested positive.&nbsp;

Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad will have another shot at reviving their IPL&nbsp;campaign as they take on Mumbai&nbsp;Indians in Delhi on Tuesday.
Mumbai&nbsp;have started to peak just at the right time and are coming off a morale boosting win against the Chennai Super Kings. They have now won 4 of their 7 games and hard hitting Kieron&nbsp;Pollard has too found his mojo&nbsp;back. It has been the same story for Hyderabad though as a change in captaincy didn't turn their fortunes around. SRH&nbsp;has now lost 6 of its 7 games and are languishing&nbsp;at the bottom of the table.
They have however done well against the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians but Rohit&nbsp;Sharma's&nbsp;men still hold a 9-8 head-to-head against the Sunrisers.
