No tinkering: KKR CEO Venky Mysore not in favour of format changes to accommodate IPL 2020

Any "tinkering" in the IPL format to make space for it in the coronavirus-hit calendar will not be acceptable to KolkataKolkataKolkata Knight Riders CEO Venky Mysore, who on Thursday asserted that all the franchises want the event to be held in its complete form.

The IPL was postponed indefinitely after a lockdown to contain the COVID-19 pandemic came into force in March. There is still no clarity on whether it will be held this year, but there seems to be a likely window in October-November due to the uncertainty surrounding the Twenty20 World Cup.

"One thing that I feel strongly about and we feel strongly about is that we should not tinker with the quality of the product that we have," Mysore told reporters in a virtual news conference.
