Emirates Cricket Board on Tuesday confirmed they have received the official clearance from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to host the 13th edition of the highly-popular Indian Premier League (IPL).

Earlier, IPL Governing Council Chairman Brijesh Patel had confirmed that the Indian cricket board has received all the necessary clearance to conduct IPL 2020 in the UAE from September 19 to November 10.&nbsp;

IPL franchises have started preparing for the cash-rich tournament and are expected to leave for the UAE after August 20. The BCCI has issued the Standard Operating Protocols (SOPs) to all franchises.

While there’s a bit of a roadblock in relation to the title sponsor of the tournament after Vivo and the BCCI decided to pause the contract for the 13th edition of the tournament. However, a new sponsor is expected to be finalized within the next 10 days.&nbsp;
