"In the event that doesn’t happen, there are potential windows in the February-March period, October-November the following year. The International Cricket Council, the sport's world governing body, has the final say over whether the Oct. 18-Nov. 15 event will go ahead. On Thursday, the ICC deferred decisions over the tournament until its next board meeting on June 10. Australia's cricketers would need exemptions from CA to be excused from international duty and play in the IPL but Roberts declined to say whether CA would grant them. "The question of the IPL will be addressed when a decision is made around the T20 World Cup, that’s the key influencing factor there," he said.
