Cricket | Next month first T20 series against Sri Lanka, then IPL and T20 World Cup. Cricket fans are going to get a tremendous dose of cricket in the next few months. The T20 World Cup has also shifted to the UAE, but what is a matter of concern for the players is that there is only a gap of two days between the end of the IPL and the start of the World Cup. The IPL final is on October 15, then the World Cup has started on October 17.

Now the news is coming that BCCI is planning to end the tournament before the scheduled time, so that the players can get enough rest before the World Cup. Both the IPL and the World Cup are being organized in the UAE. According to sources, the BCCI is now planning to finish the IPL by October 10. The Indian team management, including captain Virat and coach Ravi Shastri, want the players to get at least two weeks' rest before the World Cup. After the IPL, the Indian players will join the bio-bubble of the national team. The T20 World Cup qualifiers will start from October 17, while the main matches will start from October 24.

However, the reason for the Indian management's request is that the schedule ahead is very busy. Where team Virat will play test match against England, then the other team will play ODI series in Sri Lanka. Once this is over, all the players will join the IPL. In such a situation, there is absolutely no time for the players to refresh themselves before the World Cup.
