 IPL 2021: Only 10, Not 8 Teams Will Take Part This Season: Report

IPL 2021: Only 10 not 8 teams will take this season, if you too are waiting to watch the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) with 10 teams this time, your wait will not be complete this season. The BCCI had plans to raise two teams from this season, but the board has deferred the idea. He will now implement the scheme in the 2022 season.

Earlier there were reports that the BCCI plans to organize IPL in season 2021 with 10 teams instead of 8. But it is not possible to make preparations for the two new teams yet and for this tournament to be held in April-May, players will also have to auction the auction soon.

Now after the conclusion of the 14th season of the IPL, the BCCI will come out with fresh tenders to look for two new franchises, after which it will be seen to be held in T20 league year 2022 with 10 teams.

Sources connected with this matter have informed the Times of India that a final decision on this matter will be taken in the annual general meeting to be held this week. This meeting will be held in Ahmedabad on 24 December. The BCCI may open bids for two new teams in February or March or April. Whenever he feels that this is the right time to do it, he will do it.

There are also reports that many franchisees of this league are not in favor of the decision that the board wants to bring two more new teams to this league. But the BCCI is excited to do so and is talking to several corporates in this context. Postponing this decision for this season has brought a lot of relief to the board as it will now be able to plan this scheme better before 2022 season.

IPL 2021 to be held with eight teams, two teams to join in 2022

This year, the IPL was held in three cities of the UAE. Its final was played between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals at the Dubai Cricket Stadium, in which under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Mumbai defeated Delhi to capture the record for the fifth time.

Before the final match on November 10, it was discussed that BCCI will induct two new franchisees in this league in the IPL to be held in 2021 next year. However, according to a new report, BCCI is no longer in favor of adding new teams in IPL 2021 and new teams are now expected to join in 2022 itself.

According to a 'Times of India' report, the BCCI said that the time to launch two new teams in IPL 2021 is very short and auction is to be done before that. In such a situation, there will be problems in connecting two new teams to the league. Because of this, the board has decided that the Indian Premier League will be held in IPL 2021 with eight teams and ten teams in the 2022 season.

It also states that the BCCI may conduct an auction between February and April before the start of IPL 2021. The absence of two new teams in IPL 2021 will benefit the board and eight franchisees as both will avoid the mega auction. As the duration of the addition of teams increases, the board will benefit from the ease of selling title sponsorship rights. The title sponsorship is currently with Dream 11.

Giving another reason, the board said that their contract with Star Sports is coming to an end in 2021, so it is possible to organize IPL with new teams only in 2022. If IPL is of 10 teams then its value will increase even more. A total of 94 matches for 10 teams. Therefore, it does not seem possible in the present situation. With the end of IPL 2020, there was talk that the Ahmedabad franchise would join as the ninth team of IPL, while Kanpur, Lucknow and Pune were in the race for the tenth team.
