According to him, the United Arab Emirates increasing the flight ban from India even in July is making it difficult for the IPL team administrators to fly to the gulf nation and make necessary arrangements. 

“Finding hotels won’t be a problem. But flight ban is definitely a problem, it delays our plans” Viswanathan was quoted as saying to Insidesport. “As far as the hotel is concerned, we are already in talks. Whenever BCCI confirms the dates, we will finalise the bookings,” he added.

On the other hand, a Kings Punjab officially also confirmed that the problem of price negotiation would arise if the moves are not made early by BCCI as the Dubai Expo also takes place at the same time as the IPL. 

“We still don’t have any official intimation as yet from the BCCI. Unless we get an official note from BCCI, I cannot comment. Whatever we have heard, it is through the media. We are in a state of preparedness,” the administrator said on the account anonymity. 

“Everything is being checked, hotels are being finalised, grounds have been finalised for practice. All of that is done. We are prepared. As soon we get an official confirmation, we will make our move,” he added. 

BCCI has already confirmed that the IPL would take place between September 19 and October 15.

James Faulkner pondering on whether to play in BBL or ply trade in other T20 leagues

Out of favour Australian all-rounder, James Faulkner is pondering his options of whether to return with the Hobart Hurricanes in the 11th edition of the Big Bash League (BBL) or target other domestic T20 leagues across the world following his exceptional performance in the recently concluded Pakistan Super League (PSL). The left-arm pacer had a sensational time with the ball during the PSL and bagged played six games for the Lahore Qalandars in the second leg of the PSL bagged 13 wickets at an economy rate of 6.50. He also chipped in with 90 crucial runs in the lower order which came in just 53 balls. With the BBL clubs still under a contracting embargo and with several offers from foreign T20 leagues in line, Faulkner might choose the latter. During an interview with cricket.com.au, Faulkner said that he will be sit down and discuss with his manager on his future decisions. Last year, Channel Seven had threatened to withdraw as the broadcasting partner as it was expected that several big names will miss out due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While that was solved for the last year with the tournament being conducted as planned, all the clubs are again under a contracting embargo. Speaking on his prospect of playing other T20 leagues Faulkner said, "It's something my manager and I will sit down and look at with all the leagues going on around the world.” The medium-pacer is currently going through his 14 day mandatory quarantine period after the PSL. "(Joining the T20 circuit) is probably the most realistic thing for me to be doing, I know I'm not going to be playing Test cricket again, or four-day cricket either. "There's potential for one-day cricket but after having a couple of months off after the last Big Bash, then going into the PSL and playing six games in 10 days and performing reasonably as well, I got a lot of confidence out of that. "That's probably the angle that I'll go at. I've got to weigh up what offers are on the table and map it out,” Faulkner said. The all-rounder last played a BBL match in December against the Brisbane Heat. He had to limp off the field only four overs into his second over at the Gabba. Having aggravated the injury at training, Faulkner was ruled out of the rest of the tournament.

My only concern was to do something for Pakistan cricket and ensure the players could take advantage of my experience,” said the man with more than 10,000 Test runs at an astonishing average of 52. “In future also if I have to serve Pakistan cricket and work with the board I will ensure matters are made more transparent and clear in our agreement,” he added, giving indications of the fact that he would be interested in working with the PCB again. Hasan Ali is currently touring with the national team which is in England for a three-match ODI and T20I series.
