Ever since the Election commission of India announced the General election dates in india the IPL chief Mr. Lalit Modi is not having a good time. He has prepared three to four schedules for the season 2 of the League, so that it will be convenient for the states to stage the event. But unfortunately all his efforts went in vain with one state or another refusing for each schedule he came up with. At last a decision was made on Sunday,22nd March that the Grand event will be staged outside India.
This will be the first time that an India domestic tournament will be held outside India,making it a historic event. It may be fitting to call the event "NRI"PL, as some papers in India rightly Quoted. The two countries in the running to host the event are South Africa and England, but England seems to be the clear favorites among the board members as well as the Franchise owners.
Already few players have commented on IPL being taken outside event, The Master Blaster was quoted saying: "It will never be the same, no match will be a home game for any team."
Gambhir has said "We don't know who will support who?"
There are so many voices raised over this issue, let us see how this unfolds as time goes by.
IPL becomes (NRI)PL

Phooey! No doubt, the fan throng from India is gonna be bleak. This grim decision is totally below the belt and has brought a great disappointment to cricket buffs. IPL is one whale of a cricket tournament and fans all over the country have been eagerly waiting for the second session, that is the IPL2, to be kicked off. Deblorably, now the tournament is gonna be lackluster,given the new venues.
