IPL confirms South Africa switch - The Asian Place - Desi Forum

YouthFul · 24-03-2009, 17:17

The 2009 Indian Premier League will now take place in South Africa.

Security concerns in India forced organisers to seek an alternative host, with England a possible destination.
But IPL boss Lalit Modi opted for South Africa following talks with Cricket South Africa (CSA), ultimately because of the favourable weather conditions.
The tournament, which will feature 59 matches across six venues, will start a week later than planned, running from 18 April to 24 May.
Games are scheduled to be played in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and East London.
