The 2024 IPL may start from March 22 and continue till May 26.

The 17th edition of IPL can start from March 22 and continue till May 26. Just 5 days after this, on June 1, the T-20 World Cup will start in West Indies and America. India could not win this tournament for 17 years, with the team’s only success coming in 2007.

Team India played three World Cup matches immediately after the IPL final and each time the team could not even cross the group stage. This time also all the players in Team India’s T-20 team will be included in IPL. In such a situation, everyone will get very little time to prepare together.

Final schedule not announced
The reason for the Democratic Alliance election dates of the 17th season of IPL has not been announced yet. The friendship between IPL players continues during the Lok Sabha elections. Therefore BCCI has not released the plan yet.

According to the report of Cricbuzz, BCCI has decided the dates of IPL. The tournament will start from March 22 and continue till May 26. As soon as the election dates are revealed, check the IPL dates also. The defending champion of the tournament is Chennai Super Kings.

Chennai Super Kings is the defending champion of 2023. The team won the title by defeating Gujarat Titans in the final.

India could never play World Cup knock out after IPL
If the IPL final is held on May 26, then the T-20 World Cup will also start after 5 days. However, Team India’s first match will be held after 9 days on 5th November. But it will take very little time for the players to practice together again for the tournament.

T-20 World Cup has been played 8 times so far. Three of these tournaments, the 20th day of the IPL finals had just begun, thrice Team India could not even cross the group. Apart from this, 4 out of 5 times the team has advanced from the knockout stage to the opening round. The team was eliminated twice, finished runner-up once and also became champion once.

In 2012, despite the tournament being held 3 months after the IPL, Team India could not qualify for the IPL. The team won the last title in 2007 under the stewardship of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. IPL had not started till then.

Foreign players also stayed in India till the final
Even before the IPL, the cricket boards of all the countries had said that the players will reach the finals of their tournaments. In such a situation, players of other teams will also take less time to prepare together. However, players who have reached the playoffs can definitely join the national team before May 26.

WPL ended 5 days ago
Before IPL, there will also be Women’s Premier League (WPL). According to the media, the tournament may run from 22 February to 17 March. IPL is also starting just 5 days after this. WPL’s Drafty Platinum may be announced the same week.
