IPL to be held outside India

The lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 tournament will be staged abroad due to security issues, the country's cricket chief said."Because of the extraordinary situation of the year we have decided to move the event out of India," Shashank Manohar said after a meeting of the league officials on Sunday. "We're having discussions with other boards who have shown their willingness." The IPL will, however, be played on its original dates between April 10 and May 24, and is scheduled to return to India next season, league commissioner Lalit Modi said.
