BCCI Approves 10-Team for IPL 2022 and Backs for Cricket to be included in Olympics

The Annual General Meeting of the BCCI held at Ahmedabad recently announced a great deal of expansion of the tournament by including two new teams to the existing eight-team structure. IPL, which is considered to be the exhibition of Indian cricket Fans has been accepted to include a long term obligation of ten team structure to its 2022 edition. The 15th edition of IPL is being played in April 2021 comprising the same eight teams as the time is little and BCCI will include the two new teams from IPL schedules 2022. Before playing the 2022 edition, it is the responsibility of the IPL’s Governing Council to formulate the new teams for tender and bidding, Group stage match format, the infrastructure facilities, and mega auction modules, says BCCI. The keyword of 10 team structure is in buzz for a decade, and BCCI establishes the new cycle from 2022.

IPL, in its history, has played two of its editions overseas in South Africa and UAE. Other than that, all the other editions have been played in India, and even in the current year of 2021, it will be a great feast to the fans where the entertainment is near to be commencing in April. Due to COVID 19 pandemic lockdowns, the 2020 season has been postponed to October, and Mumbai snatched the Cup for the 5th time in the finals at Dubai.

The IPL Governing Council under Mr Brijesh Patel will formulate the plan of enacting the 2022 edition with ten teams clashing on the roller coaster. IPL is normally a two monthly event with an average of 60 matches total. But, when two teams are included in the list, it will be a puzzling idea for the body to cover up all matches in the stipulated two months. If they follow the same Round Robin system of playing each team seven times once on home ground and the other away from home, it will cumulate the total matches to nearly 100 matches including the final for three months approximately.

So, the governing council may plan in such a way to follow the traditional way of separating the teams into two groups which are considered to be less time-consuming and will have control over the number of matches played. The council is also responsible for scheduling the venues as per IPL standards. Considering all these facts, the BCCI implements the plan of 10 teams in IPL in the 2022 edition.
