The Board of Control for Cricket in India has begun to work on its plan to organize the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year. The tournament is currently postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In an interaction with the Times of India, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal has said that the board has decided to begin work on this year's IPL, irrespective of ICC's statement on the fate of the men's T20 World Cup, which is currently scheduled to take place in October-November this year.
There have been many reports suggesting that the tournament would be postponed. Earlier today, Australian newspaper the Daily Telegraph reported that the decision to postpone the tournament will be announced on Friday this week.

Dhumal said that BCCI cannot wait for the decision from ICC to begin its plans for the IPL.

"The year started on a horrible note and there's been no relief on any front. But as time goes by, we need to take things head on and ensure that we remain prepared for any eventuality. Cricket is no different. It is time for the BCCI to start planning for the year ahead," said Dhumal.
