The decision was taken by the Centre hours before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh left for London for the G-20 summit. The BCCI and the IPL franchisees have convened an emergency meet at 11 am in Mumbai on Wednesday to tie up the loose ends. The Centre and state governments have agreed to host IPL matches up to four days before the elections in the respective centres, and immediately after polling ends. Hyderabad, Vizag and Nagpur have elections on April 16, Bengaluru on April 23, Mumbai on April 30, Jaipur and New Delhi on May 7 and Chennai and Kolkata on May 13.
The Andhra Pradesh police have reportedly agreed to provide security immediately after the April 16 elections. Sources said Hyderabad, where polling will be held in the first phase on April 16, has been recommended for the opening match in place of Mumbai (in the original schedule). The clincher came when the South African government reportedly developed second thoughts due to the coming national elections on April 22. We hope readers remember that Wednesday is April 1. “
