New Delhi: As soon as the Indian Premier League 2020 (IPL 2020) came to an end, there was speculation that two more new teams could play in the upcoming season. According to media reports, there were reports that 10 teams will be seen participating in IPL 2021. However, this does not seem to be happening now. According to reports, the BCCI has postponed the decision to add two new teams to the IPL. Only 8 will be seen playing in the IPL next season.
8 teams will also play in IPL 2021
According to a report published in the Times of India, BCCI will field only 8 teams in the Indian Premier League 2021. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has postponed the idea of adding two new teams. The BCCI has its annual general meeting on December 24, at which the decision may be announced. It should be noted that the BCCI itself could not reach a consensus on the idea of adding two new teams in IPL 2021.
According to a report in Inside Sport, BCCI officials said, "There is very little time to launch two new teams in IPL 2021. Especially when there is a new player auction. There is more work and less time. If two new teams come in the IPL, it will be possible in the 2022 season.
