Dubai: With just three weeks to go before the 13th edition of the IPL begins, the announcement of the schedule has been hampered by a separate restraining order in the UAE. There are also traffic restrictions between the two countries. Native people are the only ones who can cross the border. The BCCI is in trouble over the game schedule due to the Kovid-16 protocol and travel restrictions. The BCCI plans to hold the first phase of the IPL in Sarja and Dubai as there are no restrictions on travel from Sharjah to Dubai. The second leg of the matches is being played in Abu Dhabi, 130 km from Dubai. During the 53-day tournament, the summer environment is expected to bring some of the best to the players.
Mumbai Indians and KKR9 are disappointed
The winners, the Mumbai Indians and the Kolkata Knight Riders, are frustrated. The two parties have reacted to the fact that the UAE has separate protection rules in different cities. Rohit Sharma and Dinesh Karthik’s team is based in Abu Dhabi. The restraining order here is 14 days. As a result, the practice has not been in place for weeks, but has not yet begun. As Dubai has a four-day restraining order, other parties are gearing up for the exercise. An official from the Mumbai Indians has urged the BCCI to intervene. Due to the epidemic, the IPL-13 has been relocated to the UAE. It will be played in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah from September 16 to November 10. But before leaving India, the first positive case came to light. Rajasthan Royals’ goalkeeping coach Dikshant Yagnik’s health has returned to normal after a positive test.
