The economic impact of the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) has devastated sports all over the world in a little over two months. Without a cure in sight and a shutdown in cricket extended until June, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) may be thinking of alternatives to deal with this blow.
Among the ideas touted, apart from the cancellation of the 2020 tournament which is booked for August into September, are the barring of overseas players, a reduction of matches, or a rescheduling of the tournament altogether.
With CPL’s main competitor, the Indian Premier League (IPL) being affected too, that tournament could be pushed back and overlap into the CPL’s window.
