A rearranged Indian Premier League season could overlap with England's tour of India later this year. The IPL recently indefinitely postponed its 2020 tournament due to the coronavirus pandemic but one of the options being explored is holding a truncated version of world cricket's most lucrative domestic competition in September either in India or Dubai. Sportsmail understands that while the ECB have not been involved directly in talks with the Board of Control for Cricket in India they are aware of the various contingencies being drawn up. The Indian Premier League is set to be rearranged to take place around September timeThat also include holding a full-scale IPL if the Twenty20 World Cup is moved from its October-November slot into the first quarter of 2021. The Indian team does not normally play during IPL windows but it appears shoehorning the event into the calendar might challenge that or alternatively trigger a request to shift the England dates.
