Former Indian Premier League (IPL) Chairman Rajeev Shukla exuded confidence in BCCI's (Board of Control for Cricket in India) decision to indefinitely postpone the thirteenth edition of the money spinning T20 league, stating that it would be in the "interest of both country and cricket". Shukla said that the cricket governing body in India is monitoring the situation and would take a "proper decision". "As far as IPL is concerned, they are keeping an eye on this and will take a proper decision on it. We have to see the benefit of our country, whatever would be in the interest of our country and cricket," Shukla told ANI. "They will take a proper step, there is no worry. They will take a good decision while keeping in mind everything. I don't think that we should comment on anything before the decision," he added. The 2020 edition of the IPL, which was scheduled to begin on March 29, has been postponed indefinitely due to the outbreak of the coronavirus crisis. The BCCI has cancelled all domestic and international engagements in Indian cricket, keeping in mind the safety of the cricketers. The International Cricket Council has also stayed its decision on holding the 2020 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in Australia, later this year, keeping a close eye on how is the COVID-19 situation evolving on a daily basis worldwide.
