The BCCI will lock in a three-week window between September 15 and October 15 for the resumption of the currently-suspended IPL in the UAE, when it holds a Special General Meeting (SGM) virtually on Saturday. The agenda of the meeting is "discussing on the upcoming cricket season in the view of pandemic prevailing in India". The wider scope of the agenda permits the members to also discuss the ICC T20 World Cup but the much-delayed compensation package for domestic cricketers for the cancelled last Ranji Trophy season may not come up for formal discussion.

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly is expected to chair Saturday's meeting from Mumbai. "The scope of SGM agenda remains specific and it doesn't have the remit to discuss the matter formally. It can only be tabled at the AGM or Apex Council based on agenda. However, that doesn't stop people from having an informal chat which may not be recorded in the minutes," a state unit member told PTI. BCCI still wants to host the T20 World Cup in India and during the June 1 ICC Board meet, it would ask the global body to wait on the COVID-19 situation here before any call is taken.
