´We want to assure all our fans and sponsors that the IPL is on. There are lot of speculations. There is no question of IPL moving to any other country,´ IPL chairman and commissioner Modi told reporters at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai Friday.
Modi, who is also the vice-president of the Indian cricket board, said that the IPL is working on a revised fixture and it will be published soon. He also said the IPL will also come up with a security plan next week. Questions had been raised about the possibility of the tournament this season also in view of the Indian parliamentary elections due in April-May.
´We are rescheduling the fixture and we are [in] touch with all the state [cricket] associations. It is a cumbersome process and can´t be done overnight. We will shortly have a new schedule out,´ he said.
Modi, also made it clear that there will not be any matches on the day of the [vote] counting - May 16.
´There won´t be a match in a city also on election day. We are working on it and we have also 14 cities available and we have to shortlist eight from them,´ he said.
