The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have announced the upcoming IPL 2026 schedule for the first 20 matches, citing the upcoming elections in some of the states that also host IPL games. However, it seems a warlike situation in the Middle East is now having a restricting effect on the smooth conduct of the upcoming edition of the IPL.
The US-Israel attacks on Iran and the retaliation of Tehran have shut the Strait of Hormuz, which is a key sea route through which India gets the majority of their LPG imports from the Middle Eastern countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
"We cannot preempt the situation. We have to wait and watch. Everyone we have spoken to says things are under control. Hotels are saying the same, so we have to go by that for now," the official was quoted as saying in the report.
As of now, everything is alright- BCCI said in their statement
"As of now, everything is alright. We will keep an eye on the situation. Why should we preempt and decide something now?" he said.
"We will definitely act as per the situation. If the situation demands that we do something, we will take the necessary steps," the official concluded.
