The Indian Premier League is slated to resume in the UAE in September-October and some of the franchises are planning to send their officials to finalise the logistics after July 6.
"We are looking at heading to the UAE post-July 6 once we get the go-ahead from the BCCI and the government so that we can seal the logistical deals. Unlike last year, bulk bookings won't be as easy this year as you will have people travelling into the country and that makes the work around bio-bubbles all the more critical," the official of one of the franchises explained.
Another official said that the franchise had sought permission from the BCCI for the same.
"We sent in a request to the BCCI to travel, but we have been asked to wait for the approval. While we had a good stay last time, we are looking at ways to making things even better this time around and that is the reason why we want to be present there while dealing with the hotel management," the official said.
The IPL was suspended on May 4 after there was a rise in COVID-19 cases within the franchise league.
Players like Wriddhiman Saha, Amit Mishra, Varun Chakravarthy, Sandeep Warrior, CSK bowling coach Lakshmipathy Balaji and batting coach Mike Hussey had tested positive for the disease.
The BCCI had earlier announced that the IPL would resume in the UAE but the schedule for the cash-rich league is yet to be announced.
