Crowds can be avoided at least initially in IPL: Ness Wadia

Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia feels the IPL can avoid crowds initially in the tournament and also wants to know from the BCCI that why his team’s base in Mohali has not been picked among the potential venues for the 2021 edition despite a low Covid-19 caseload.

Delhi, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Chennai have been shortlisted as potential venues but the BCCI is yet to take a final call on the matter.

“We have written to the BCCI to find out under what criteria they have selected the venues and why they have not selected us. We were hoping to have games in Punjab,” Wadia said.

“Some of the teams will not have a home advantage, those are the concerns. The cases in Chandigarh and Mohali are not that much, I don’t know on what basis they have shortlisted the venues,” he added, referring to Chandigarh’s 69 new cases on Monday.

I think sports is something that brings the family together – a lot of the people who watch the IPL are young kids, middle-aged and elderly.

I mean, (let’s) put it this way, a lot more people are watching even the Caribbean Premier League, said Ness Nusli Wadia

A lot of people are suffering in India,” Wadia told PTI. Ness Wadia
