The BCCI has “no problem” if the crowd is allowed in the second phase of the IPL-14, scheduled to begin from September 19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Earlier, the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) general secretary Mubashir Usmani was quoted as saying that the board will speak to the Indian cricket board and the UAE government regarding allowing crowds back into the stands. To this, BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal said that the BCCI would “love to have crowd” but not at the cost of players and peoples’ safety.
