BCCI has issued safety measures for IPL 2020 due to the outbreak. Before the departure TO UAE, every player will undergo 2 covid-19 tests. After the negative result of the tests, they will get compliance with heading to the UAE. Even after reaching UAE, they will be tested on the 1st, 3rd & 6th days. Therefore, all the teams will be given separate hotels. All the franchisees have to conduct virtual team meetings & maintain social distancing. The same goes for the families of players & supporting staff. As per ICC’S new rules no player would be able to use saliva on a cricket ball. The sanitizer will be used during the game, what we have already seen in England vs Pakistan match. Any kind of breaching of BCCI’S code of conduct will lead the players to ban & forfeit.
Most of the team has lately started their practice in several places of India like CSK & RCB has commenced their sessions in Chennai and Bangalore respectively. This is for the second time the UAE is conducting the IPL 2020. Earlier due to elections it was moved to UAE.
The important things to watch in this season will be the winners of this season, while many of us are eager to see a new winner between RCB & DC. More or less all franchisee has balanced team. but RCB has two of the greatest batsmen of all time VIRAT KOHLI & AB DE VILLERS. While pat Cummins, the highest bid player of this season who was bought by KKR for 2.1 million dollars, would be on the radar of spectators along with the uncapped players of India like yashvi jaiswal, devdutt padikkal, varan Chakravarty & Priyam garg who has been sensational in domestic cricket.
