The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has put the IPL 2026 schedule on hold due to the uncertainty surrounding government election announcements in key states like Assam, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal. This delay has a direct impact on the selection of venues for matches, particularly in Guwahati, Chennai, and Kolkata. The franchisees of Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been given a deadline of one week to confirm their respective home grounds. This decision is crucial as it will have a significant influence on the final fixture list for the upcoming season. The cricketing community eagerly awaits further updates from the BCCI as they seek clarity on the schedule and venue arrangements for the much-anticipated IPL 2026.
