The BCCI’s working committee will hold an emergency meeting in Mumbai on Sunday to take a final call on the second edition of the Indian Premier League. The Twenty-20 league has been under a cloud of uncertainty because of security apprehensions.
The meeting has been called after many top state officials expressed reservations on providing security to the high profile championship as many matches being held at different venues clash with Lok Sabha elections. The schedule has been changed thrice, but it is yet to get the final approval from the Home Ministry. The Home Minister, Mr. P. Chidambaram told a TV channel that there could be problems even if the organisers avoided a clash with polling dates.
Meanwhile, the IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi said that the Premier League will not be truncated. He said IPL organisers have as many as 42 schedules ready in order to meet any eventualities.
