The two IPLs in India, i.e. the Indian Premier League and the Indian Political League will reportedly be clashing which is why there is now a requirement to reschedule some of the IPL matches. IPL tournament director Dheeraj Malhotra has said that the matches that clash will be rescheduled as per requirements.
It would seem that there are two IPLs in India; one if of course the Indian Premier League and has to do with one of India’s main religions, international cricket and the other IPL is the Indian Political League which is one of the other main religions. And come this April, it would seem that these two main religions of India; the two IPLs are going to clash. So according to the latest cricket news, it is now decided to reschedule certain matches which may be running concurrent to the Loksabha elections.
Earlier the police officials of Kolkata has expressed concern at the clashing of dates and said that the matches would have to be rescheduled. "We think the whole league table will be rescheduled because the election dates will clash with matches in several cities. If the IPL authorities do not reschedule it by themselves, we will ask them to do so," said a senior Kolkata Police officer. The reason given for this is the fact that there will be a requirement for a huge force to be deployed at the north and south Kolkata constituencies and as such security arrangements for the Indian Premier League match would not be able to be deployed.
For instance the Kolkata Knight Riders' home match against Bangalore Royal Challengers on May 13 falls on the same day the city goes to polls and will therefore be one to be rescheduled. According to Indian Premier League tournament director Dheeraj Malhotra, "There's no other way out. We have to reschedule the matches that are clashing with the LS polls. Not just in Kolkata, there are few more matches that are clashing with the poll dates. I'm now in the process of sorting them out. We will make an announcement in a day or two,” indicating that the fresh dates are still to be decided.
Jagmohan Dalmiya, President of the Cricket Association of Bengal, responded by saying that rescheduling would not be a problem. "Rescheduling won't be a difficult proposition and I am sure the tournament committee will come out with a solution," he said.
