IPL Moves out of India, becomes International Premier League!

The IPL and BCCI have decided to move the IPL out of India. It may be moved to either England or South Africa. Both the countries are ready to host the game but the decision will be out today.

With the government not ready to provide security for the revised schedule proposed by IPL committee, there is no option except to move it out. Postponing the event would mean huge loss for IPL, franchises, advertisers, sponsors.

Lalit Modi, the Commissioner of IPL said, "It's a tough decision in my life." He also requested not to politize the issue and said that he will not blame anybody for this.

The schedule remains the same, but the logistics has to be worked out like travel, TV rights, etc.
