BCCI Awaits Election Dates For IPL Schedule; RCB, RR Asked To Confirm Home Venues Within A Week: Sources (Ld)
Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is awaiting the Election Commission’s announcement of election dates before finalising the schedule for the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League, sources told IANS, further adding that the Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been asked to finalise their home venues by the end of this week.
Elections will soon be held across various states in India, but the BCCI is awaiting the government’s announcement of the dates for the Assam, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal polls. While the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati hosts some of the Rajasthan Royals’ home games, the MA Chidambaram Stadium and Eden Gardens are home venues for the Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively.
“We are working on the IPL schedule, but we are still awaiting the announcement of the election dates by the Election Commission. Once those dates are confirmed, we will be able to draw up a schedule that does not disrupt the election process or clash with matches in the poll-bound states, ensuring smooth conduct of both,” a BCCI source told IANS.
