Last month, after 13 staff members, including 2 players had tested positive for COVID-19, speculations were made about the start of the tournament on time. But On Wednesday, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal had told IANS that the lucrative league would begin as scheduled.

There will be no delay in the tournament due to the present COVID-19 situation. Things will go as they are planned. There will be no change in the plans as everything is fine now in UAE, said Dhumal.
