IPL TO BE PLAYED OUTSIDE INDIA

England and South Africa have emerged as the front-runners to host the second season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after the BCCI decided, following days of inconclusive negotiations with the Indian home ministry and various state governments, to shift the tournament out of India. The venue and new schedule will be announced soon. Shashank Manohar, the BCCI president, said the tournament had been relocated "because of the extraordinary situation existing this year." The 45-day tournament clashes with the forthcoming general elections in India and there had been concerns over security. But IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has also assured that the tournament will be back to India next year. IPL Franchise owners Preity Zinta, Shahrukh Khan, VIjay Mallya, Manoj Badale have all backe BCCI's decision to conduct it outside instead of scrapping or truncating the tournament
