IPL Start Date

The 2022 season of Indian Premier League has been confirmed to be entirely played in India due to decline in covid cases in the country. But, in view of the situation getting escalated quickly, only 4 neighboring venues were decided by the BCCI for conducting the IPL in a safe manner. The team will get transferred from hotel to stadiums/ practice grounds from bus, and no flights will be used during the whole season.

“The 15th edition of the Indian Premier League will be played in a bio-secure environment at a single hub to avoid air travel which is considered as a major threat for the spread of COVID-19 infection, thereby affecting the players and the League/matches,” the BCCI explained.

As earlier reported, there were no decision on the venues of IPL 2022 playoffs. It certainly will be decided as the tournament reaches midway, looking at the covid situation in the country. If everything is on track, Ahmedabad is likely to be the venue for hosting the playoffs.
