Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad have been picked out as the venues for the remaining 16 fixtures of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) if the season resumes in May after the tournament was suspended for a week in the wake of the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, according to ESPNcricinfo. According to Espncricinfo, the IPL chose three venues in southern Indian cities in case the Indian government gives a nod to resume the tournament. On Friday, the BCCI announced that the tournament would be suspended for a week due to rising cross-border tensions between the two neighbouring countries.
