The 7th edition of the Indian Premier League is most probably to move out of India. This decision was out when BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla and IPL chairman Ranjib Biswal met in a discussion held with Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and he told "Indian government will not be able to provide fool-proof security during the general elections."
The venues for the rich-tournament has been shifted to the rainbow nation "Africa". This is not the first time that this commercial tournament has been shifted from other than Indian pitches. It was in 2009 IPL edition that this tournament was shifted to South Africa for the first time. "We are in constant touch with franchises; we have taken them into confidence in the last two days and we held a series of meetings with them. We have made our stand clear. They appreciated our concerns and they have given us cooperation on this matter," said Ranjib Biswal. Earlier Sri Lanka was also one of the prospect to host this tournament but eventually it was South Africa that has got the chance to host this tournament.
