Talking about the same, in the interview, he said that the IPL would find out of what led to this crisis. He said that the BCCI will get in touch with other cricket boards to talk about the possibility of a window being allotted before the T20 World Cup.He said:

“There has got to be a lot of shuffling. Only a day has passed since we suspended the IPL. We have to speak to other boards and see if a window can be made available before the T20 World Cup,”

Further in the interview, he also revealed, that if the IPL can’t be completed this year, the BCCI would incur a loss of around Rs.2500 crore. He said:

“Lot of things are involved and we will slowly start working on them. If we fail to complete the IPL, the loss will be close to INR 2500 crore (USD 340 million approx). That is going by early estimates,”

“I wouldn’t say it’s a blow… Don’t forget last year we had no Wimbledon or Olympics. These are extraordinary times and we have to take it in our stride and move on. We can’t do much in these situations. Perhaps we have to only wait for things to improve,”
