IPL Matches To Be Played In Empty Stadiums?

Ahmedabad: The remaining three T20Is between India and England at the Narendra Modi stadium here will be played behind closed doors, the BCCI has confirmed.

The recent surge in COVID-19 cases has prompted the cricket board to take the decision.

The five-match T20I series is currently level at 1-1, with the remaining three matches to be played on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The three ODIs in Pune that follow will also to be held before empty stands.

The BBCI’s latest decision also puts a big question mark over fan attendance in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), which commences on April 9.
