IPL T20 revised schedule only for April 2009

The most awaited twenty20 formatted Indian Premier League second season will take place on 18 April, 2009 in South Africa in stead of India home gourd. It is an Indian club cricket matches where foreign cricketers can attend on the side of different clubs. Some of the cricket players of the eight clubs already have reached in the new venues and DLF IPL T20 authority already reschedules the in new way because they had to less seven days. Previously it was scheduled from 10 April 2009.

 

All the teams will play a home match and an away match live English Premier league. Here I have only attached the schedules of April 2009. From for opening ceremony that will be placed in Cape Town on 18 April, 2009 to 30 April, it will be 22 matches of the IPL 2009 and rest of the matches will be on 1 May 2009 to 24 May. The Final match will be kicked off at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg on 24 May.

 

The timetable did not change because of only for the Indian fans. The T20 formatted DLF IPL is based on India fans that is why all the matches will be placed according to India time 216:00 IST but the day-night match will be at 20:00 IST. It is same to the IPL 2008.

 

The inaugural ceremony is always attractive parts of any Cricket match. But I am little bit confuse that when the opening ceremony will be held because most of the time it used to hold at night. Well, as the IPL cricket tournament will be hosted in South Africa so, will the opening ceremony will be arranged in any individual day?

Bangladesh to re-schedule the Pakistan’s tours

There are more changes in World Cricket schedules after some attacks in south Asian countries. First India postponed their tour of Pakistan as well as Sri Lanka responded the call of Pakistan board. But due to attack on April, during the second test, Sri Lanka back to home. After this tour, Pakistan had a schedule tour of Bangladesh but recently Bangladesh Cricket Board has postponed the tour and thing to re-schedule the tour after making stronger security for the series. 

Quote from Circinfo:

However, Bangladesh Cricket Board officials feel the tour could take place as early as end-March. "We had been making all necessary preparations for the tour when we were advised by the home ministry to postpone it for the time being," Jalal Yunus, chairman of the board's media and communications committee, told Cricinfo. "We are now working with the PCB and our government agencies to chalk out a new schedule." 

Not only the ongoing tours but also the upcoming world cup cricket 2011 is now become uncertain to be held in this region. No, doubt that it will fell a clear effect in the economy. I think, all countries should take steps to prevent these kinds of massacres.
