Indian Premier League going to South Africa

Finally Indian government and Cricket Board have also shown their failure against the suspected terror attacks and they have shifted IPL to South Africa, where it will be played from 18th April 2009.

IPL IndiaThis action is not good for the South Asian Cricket as Pakistan and Bangladesh already are facing the security concerns due to which India was the only safe place considered for hosting international players.

Recently their government showed concerns due to the occurance of Indian General Elections in the tournament scheduled dates. South Africa and England showed their interest in hosting this T-20 event and IPL management agreed to arrange the tournament in South Africa. Meanwhile Pakistan and Australia are agreed to play their one-day series in Dubai and Abu Dhabi from 22nd April.

It shows that in the future our teams will have to go out for playing Cricket and our stadia will remain empty of players and spectators.
