The IPL was shifted out of India when the government declined to provide adequate security for the tournament because the dates clashed with the general elections from April 16 to May 13.
The high-profile tournament, featuring the world´s top players in eight teams owned by Bollywood stars and India´s leading industrialists, is to start on April 17, TV reports said.
IPL commissioner Lalit Modi and Cricket South Africa chief executive Gerald Majola are due to confirm details at a media conference in Johannesburg later Tuesday.
