File image of Sourav Ganguly (TOI Photo)NEW DELHI: Hosting the Indian Premier League) in India remains BCCI president Sourav Gangulys "first priority" and he is hoping that the cricketworld will not have to endure a 2020 sans the glitzy event, despite his concerns around the rising COVID-19The hugely-popular T20 league, which was scheduled to start on March 29, stands suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the former India captain said it is important for cricket to return to normalcy, any decision on the IPL can be taken only after the ICC decides on the fate of the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be played in Australia in October-November. "We dont want the year 2020 to finish without an IPL. Our first priority is India and even if we get 35 to 40 days, we will host it.

"I will put it in this order. Firstly, whether we can (have an IPL) within the time frame, as the IPL has limited window. "Secondly, (host it in) India. If its not possible, then we are thinking of going out (abroad). But going out where. . . because if you go out, it becomes expensive for everyone -- franchises and board. "Because of conversion rate and currency exchange rate, it becomes expensive. So we are monitoring but as I said, we are very keen to host it and (have) got our fingers crossed. "The delay in taking a final call on the fate of the T20 World Cup is also keeping the BCCI bosses and other IPL stakeholders waiting. "We dont know yet as we dont have a decision from ICC regarding the T20 World Cup. We keep hearing different things from the media but unless it is officially told to board members, you dont know whats happening," he said.
