IPL 2022: Teams to practice at five venues in Mumbai
BCCI has identified five practice venues in Mumbai for the league stage of IPL 2022 — the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) ground in Bandra-Kurla Complex, the Brabourne Stadium at the Cricket Club of India, DY Patil Stadium, the Reliance Corporate Park in Navi Mumbai and the MCA ground in Thane. The forthcoming edition of the IPL will start from March 26 with a game between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, and end on May 22 (Sunday). There will be 12 double-headers in the league this time. Each team will be based in a separate hotel to ensure that the bio-secure environment is created and maintained at each of the hotels with “dedicated areas” for the teams. A green corridor will be created for the teams to ensure a “safe passage and smooth movement” of the 10 teams for matches and practice. The teams are likely to start arriving in Mumbai around March 8, and after a three to five-day quarantine period, will start practicing from March 14 or 15th onwards. As part of the IPL’s bio-secure protocols, the participants who will be a part of the bubble — players, support staff, match officials, commentators, broadcast crew and other participants who are critical of the tournament will undergo strict quarantine for 3-5 days before entering their respective bubbles. In case a player/participant catches covid, separate arrangements will be made for that person in the hotel.
