The Indian Premier League 2021 (IPL 2021) season is likely to commence sometime in April, i.e. a few weeks after the conclusion of England’s ongoing tour of India.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to come with an entire tournament schedule at the upcoming general council meeting. According to reports, the IPL and BCCI officials have already reserved six venues for the IPL 2021 season, which does not include the home bases of Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
While speaking with the InsideSport, a top Punjab Kings official said that the BCCI is yet to make an official confirmation regarding IPL 2021 venues. Referring to the media reports, the official expressed his concern about Mohali being omitted by BCCI from their reserved venues.
The official claimed that the franchise is keen on hosting their home matches at their own home ground instead of playing games at away or neutral stadiums.
On January 20, the Punjab Kings announced a list of all their retentions for the IPL 2021 season.
They retained 16 of their IPL 2020 stars ahead of the 2021 auction, including captain KL Rahul and star-attractions like Chris Gayle, Mohammad Shami, Nicholas Pooran, and Mayank Agarwal.
