South Africa pitch for hosting IPL 2022

The speculations on the venue for the 15th season of the Indian Premier League is still on. Last year after the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 in India, the tournament was halted midway and later resumed in the United Arab Emirates. Meanwhile, South Africa have reportedly thrown its hat into the ring for hosting the cash-rich league saying the country would be a cheaper option as compared to the UAE.

The Indian cricket board had informed its 10 IPL franchises that the venue will be finalised around February 20, with India being the front-runner and the UAE and South Africa also viable options due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Cricbuzz report stated that discussions are underway between the Indian board and CSA “with particular emphasis on venues for which there would be no or bare minimum air travel, cutting down on the expenses for the franchises”

South Africa had hosted the IPL in 2009 across eight venues, but then there were no COVID-19 concerns.
