Yeah no venues unless they waited until late in the year. But I would think that the BCCI would discourage anyone hosting them.
Reports say the IPL could resume as soon as next week, following a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

A good signing, will be interested to see how he goes. His English is improving too, could barely speak a word a few years ago.
Was very surprised to hear South Africa at 2/213, needing just 69 more to win the Test Championship.
With the 3 completed innings giving scores of 212, 138 and 207, meaning a lead of 281 for the Aussies, I was thinking AUS would win easily.
But going to be very close I think!
Steve Smith didn’t help matters dropping SAF captain Bavuma when on just 2 (now 65 not out) and breaking a finger in the process
