Coronavirus has continued to affect cricketing events across the world and IPL 2020 is no exception. While the Indian Government has cleared that they will not allow spectators in the stadium and the matches can be played behind the closed doors, the state governments are also not interested in hosting the games now in the wake of Coronavirus threat. As a result, the BCCI on Friday, declared that the tournament has been postponed to April 15. Incidentally, that is the day when the Indian government's travel ban on overseas residents comes to an end.

I think it is Silly question from you. Australia do not want any spectators in 2 ODI, and you still want IPL to continue which has over 50 games and more crowd than you could imagine in any ground in Austtalia?
