    What's the story

    In a major development, Cricket West Indies (CWI) has agreed to change the schedule of Caribbean Premier League to avoid clash with the remainder of Indian Premier League 2021 season.

    The BCCI had earlier requested the West Indies cricket board regarding the same, as the dates of the IPL and CPL would have overlapped.

    This enables the Caribbean stars to travel for the IPL.

    CPL

    CPL likely to commence on August 25

    Originally, the CPL was scheduled to take place from August 28 to September 19 in St Kitts and Nevis.

    As per the revised schedule, the CPL will now run from August 25 to September 15.

    As a result, the remaining IPL season could resume around September 18-19.

    The CPL is expected announce the revised schedule shortly.

    IPL

    IPL to resume on September 19

    The remaining IPL season is set to resume on September 19 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), while the final will take place on October 15.

    Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi will host the matches.

    The tournament was postponed indefinitely in May after several players tested COVID-19 positive.

    It was then shifted to the UAE as the BCCI cited "monsoon season" as the reason.

    Logistics

    CPL authorities prepare for the logistics

    The CPL authorities are also preparing the logistics for the upcoming tournaments.

    Notably, the West Indies players can move from the national bubble to their respective franchise bubbles.
