Responding to chief minister Ashok Gehlot’s letter to the BCCI, president, Shashank Manohar, BCCI, vice-president and IPL chairman Lalit Modi said, “We welcome the governments initiative and if the security concern is met, Jaipur will have its share of IPL matches.” He further added that IPL was never against hosting matches in Jaipur and security was its only concern. In his letter to the BCCI president, CM mentioned that IPL won’t host the matches on May 4,5,6,7, 8 and 9 as the state goes to polls on May 7. He further stressed that barring these dates the state government is ready to host IPL matches and he even said that the city should host all seven matches including the inaugural.
Gehlot had also asked the BCCI, if one IPL match could be hosted in Jodhpur, as the ground has all the required facilities and if there were any shortcomings they can be fulfilled, even Jodhpur is neither a BCCI nor an ICC approved venue for hosting an ODI match. Jodhpur hosted an international match last in 2001 when India played Zimbabwe, making that stadium upto level in tough task.The final decision on matches will be annouced soon by IPL Chairmen after the date conflict with LS Election.
