BCCI's meeting with IPL stakeholders postponed from Thursday

Mumbai, A meeting between the BCCI and IPL stakeholders scheduled for Thursday here has been postponed, Board Secretary Devajit Saikia said on Tuesday.

The BCCI had called a joint stakeholders' meeting here on October 15, as the Indian Premier League (IPL) prepares to enter its landmark 20th season next year.

The postponement comes as BCCI officials are required to attend a felicitation ceremony for the Indian men's and women's teams by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on October 15, following their gold-medal-winning performances at the recently concluded Asian Games.


"... the meeting with the IPL Franchise Owners, CEOs, IPL Hosting State Associations and Broadcasters, scheduled to be held on October 15, 2026, in Mumbai, has been postponed," Saikia said in a BCCI statement.

"The Hon'ble Prime Minister of India is scheduled to felicitate the Indian men's and women's teams for their outstanding performances at the recently concluded 20th Asian Games on October 15, 2026, in New Delhi. Accordingly, BCCI officials will be required to attend the felicitation ceremony."

Saikia said the Board had also received requests from various stakeholders seeking a postponement of the meeting.

"In view of the above, and with a view to facilitating maximum participation in person, it has been decided to postpone the meeting."

He said the revised date and venue will be communicated in due course.
