That the BCCI was looking at a postponement and not cancellation of the money-spinning league was reported by The Telegraph on April 10. This follows a teleconference between BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah, IPL chairman Brijesh Patel and treasurer Arun Dhumal on Tuesday evening. The five-edition deal with Star was back-loaded with BCCI having already received around Rs 4,500 crore from the broadcasters. It includes the Big Bash League, WBBL and the T20 World Cup. No IPL will also mean former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s hopes of making a comeback to the Indian team will further dim.
