The Indian Premier League is on the verge of another hiccup as the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu are getting ready to be affected by drought. Although domestic matches have not been affected by this, it is believed that the IPL might face some backlash.

It is learnt that IPL franchise – Mumbai Indians have requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to probe the Hardik Pandya case speedily with the IPL scheduled to begin on March 23. However, CEO (Sports) Sunder Raman has said that MI has nothing to do with the Pandya issue.

For the first time in the IPL history, the league will be played without any chairman or governing council members as the AGM will be held only after the election, a BCCI official revealed. Now, CoA, BCCI CEO, BCCI CCO and the office bearers will be responsible for the smooth conduct of the league.

As per a BCCI statement, all-rounder Jayant Yadav has been traded by Delhi Capitals to Mumbai Indians for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League in 2019. The Haryana off-spinner has picked up only four wickets from the 10 IPL matches that he has played so far in his IPL career.
