BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said that the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is likely to be held in India "until and unless COVID-19 hits the roof." With less than a fortnight to go for the IPL 2022 mega auction, Ganguly's comments are certain to delight the Indian cricket fans, who have been deprived of a full IPL season for last two years - IPL 2020 was held in UAE entirely while last year's edition started in India but had to be stopped mid-way due to a COVID-19 outbreak and was held a few months later in the UAE. The former India captain also added that the board is planning to host the league phase of the 15th edition of IPL in Mumbai and Pune. Ganguly, however, did not clarify whether crowd will be allowed in the venues.
