Indian cricket board will be risking Indian Premier League's (IPL) brand value if it holds remainder of cash-rich tournament in September in England since rain can leave matches truncated, said former England spinner Monty Panesar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India will end their five-match Test series in England on September 14 and there have been talks that month-long window between end of that series and T20 World Cup could be ideal to host the remaining 31 matches of IPL, which was postponed this month due to Covid-19 cases in four franchises.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"IPL shouldn't be held in England in September because it will rain a lot there. Too many intervals will spoil the fun," said the former left-arm spinner on Sports Yaari, a Youtube show.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"If India are not able to control the pandemic, it should be held in UAE because weather conditions play a huge factor," added the bowler who played a key role in England winning the Test series in India 2-1 in 2012-13.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"When it rains in England, it plays spoilsport. You will see a T20 match get reduced to 15 overs and then 10 overs. We don't want that to happen with IPL because the brand will take a hit," added Panesar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The biggest thing in favour of IPL is that there are completed games in it. There is a lot of excitement in IPL games between 15th and 20th overs as that phase is pretty high-scoring. Authorities should take weather into account while deciding fixtures. Weather in UAE is great," said Panesar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has apparently made an informal request to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to advance the Test series by a week to provide a window. However, that is unlikely to happen. The BCCI has an option to hold the tournament in UAE in the month-long gap between India's series in England and the T20 World Cup.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/05\/monty-panesar-explains-why-ipl-2021-shouldnt-be-held-in-england.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for Monty Panesar Explains Why IPL 2021 Shouldn't Be Held In England", "alt_title": "Monty Panesar", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Monty Panesar Explains Why IPL 2021 Shouldn't Be Held In England | Cricketnmore.com", "seo_desc": "BCCI will be risking IPL's brand value if it holds the remainder of the tournament in September in England said Monty Panesar.
