IPL heads to UAE, Bangladesh

Friday, 14 Mar, 2014 0

Indian Premier League cricket has confirmed that it will begin the tournament in the United Arab Emirates to avoid a clash with the Indian elections.

Matches from April 16-30 will be played at three venues – Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.

The government said it would not be able to provide sufficient security for IPL games during that general election period.

Bangladesh has been confirmed as an alternative venue for the second block of games from May 1-12.

IPL organisers remain hopeful of playing some games in India, mainly in states where polling has already been completed.

The climax of the eight-team competition will be held in India, with the final on June 1.
