BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal while talking to Insidesports provided a major update on the IPL. Dhumal said the BCCI is still not sure about the conduction of IPL in the country. As the cases are rising rapidly, BCCI is in a dicey situation right now. He said the final decision will be taken once the India-England series comes to an end.
