Guwahati may not get to host Indian Premier League T20 matches in Barsapara cricket stadium as three petitioners filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) at the Jaipur Bench of the Rajasthan High Court. The court is set to deliver its judgment on February 20.
The Rajasthan Royals requested for a change of home fromAhmedabad to Guwahati. While the Rajasthan High Court is on Thursday expectedto give a decision on the PIL that has challenged the decision of RajasthanRoyals to shift a couple of their home games to Guwahati for the 2020 editionof the Indian Premier League (IPL), the BCCI has backed the Royals and made itclear that they have not broken any rules in requesting for a second homevenue.
The petitioners claimed that shifting of matches outsideJaipur "would be disrespectful to the state." Guwahati hosting the games meanthat the state would have the privilege of watching the talented Riyan Parag,who grabbed the limelight last season for his fearless approach.
