Indian Premier League in South Africa

And with this ends all speculation - this year IPL takes its flight to South Africa. After politics uprooted the league from its home, the upcoming cricket tournament finds shelter in the lands of Barry Richards and Graeme Pollock. Though this season it is going to be a snipped version, the stake holders are happy that the deadlock has been at last broken and Indian Premier League will be staged somewhere in the planet. But what about the mass appeal of the tournament? Won’t it lose its sheen among the cricket lovers in the sub continent who turned it into a mega event right in its inaugural year?
