IPL 2019 schedule likely to be out only in March

Barely a month and a half before the 12th edition of the IPL commence, there's still no clarity regarding the exact date for the announcement of the complete schedule.

A BCCI official told Hindustan Times that the schedule is likely to be announced only in March when the election dates are out.

“The schedule will take some time as we need to wait for the general election dates to be released by the election commission. Since this is the most important event in the calendar year, one has to ensure that we work according to the dates and plan the games in a way that everything is in sync", the official was quoted by HT.

"We all know the kind of arrangement that goes behind hosting elections and that is the priority,” he added.
