00:00You touched on this earlier, but could the IPL be moved to another location?
00:05What are the current options possibly on the table?
00:09Yeah, definitely. It's not the first time this has happened with the IPL,
00:12not in terms of severity of things that are going on between the two countries.
00:16But, you know, COVID hit back in 2020, 2021, they moved the IPL to the UAE midway through.
00:24So there are options. They've played it in South Africa before.
00:27I think realistically, if they want to start again in a week, it will have to be in India or the UAE.
00:32But then there's the clash with the PSL that's currently just announced that they'll be moving all the games to the UAE.
00:37So I'm not sure how they'd be able to fit both leagues in at the moment.
00:41South Africa probably wouldn't be the option right now, considering that it's winter there.
00:45So if it doesn't happen in a week's time in India or, you know, maybe Sri Lanka, somewhere like that,
00:50I suppose or suspect that they'll probably start in September.
00:54They've got a massive test series coming up against England.
00:56And in a few months' time, and the IPL will have to be finished before that or start after that.
01:02So logistically, it's quite a headache for the organizers.
01:05And I guess they have to wait and see how this next week plays out from the safety concerns of players
01:09and the people of both countries.
