Although the BCCI has granted permission to four state associations—Mumbai, Saurashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu—to conduct their franchise-based T20 leagues at the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) secretary Sanjay Naik expressed doubts over holding the T20 Mumbai from June 1, due to the COVID-19 restrictions. 

BCCI’s interim CEO Hemang Amin’s email to the state associations accessed by mid-day, said: “The staging Association is not allowed to conduct the tournament during the IPL and/or 15 days before or after the IPL and/or during September 15 to end of February every year.”
