BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed the decision, saying the request came so that stakeholders could instead attend a felicitation ceremony for the Indian cricket teams in New Delhi the same day, an event several of them did not want to miss. That ceremony, organised to honour both the men's and women's national teams for their gold medal performances at the 20th Asian Games, is set to be hosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the capital. BCCI officials are expected to attend alongside the players, a commitment that would have clashed directly with the original Mumbai meeting had the date not been changed. The stakeholders' meeting had been expected to bring together IPL franchise owners, team CEOs, representatives of the tournament's host state associations and broadcasters, with plans for the next IPL season among the items on the agenda. The BCCI has not yet announced a revised date, saying only that a new schedule would be communicated once finalised. The postponement reflects how readily the board's own calendar can give way to a national recognition event, with league business set aside for a day so that officials and other stakeholders can be present at a ceremony honouring the country's cricketers rather than at a meeting about the competition's business. --- Originally published by India Max.
