Fans were delighted to hear about the IPL news which confirmed that the remaining portion of the IPL 2021 season is set to resume from September 19 in the United Arab Emirates. Even though IPL 2021 is set to resume, the BCCI faces certain scheduling challenges due to the international fixtures of different nations. Availability of foreign players has been an emerging question as they're reluctant to return to the bio-bubble after a breach earlier in the first half of the tournament. Apart from that, players also have their international commitments which prevent them from taking part in the league.
However, the franchises are confident that the BCCI will manage to pull of the availability of its foreign players for the IPL 2021 Phase-2. The franchises are backing the Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI after the board managed to convince Cricket West Indies to move the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2021 schedule by a few days. The CWI agreed to BCCI's request to provide complete availability of West Indian players and to aid the smooth transition of players from the CPL to the IPL 2021 Phase-2.
