The 14th edition of the India Premier League (IPL) still at least a month away but three franchises – Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad – have questioned the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) decision to hold the T20 league in only six cities this year. Although, the BCCI is yet to officially announce the venues for IPL 2021, it is largely believed that Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Delhi and Ahmedabad will be the venues for the league this year due to various COVID-19 restrictions in India. According to a leading cricket website, the BCCI have also kept the option open of hosting a few games in Mumbai – the home venue of defending IPL champions Mumbai Indians, although Maharashtra have recently imposed lockdown in certain cities due to rising COVID-19 cases. “We three teams will be badly affected.

WASHINGTON: Chaos gripped major US airports on Sunday (Mar 15) as Americans returning from coronavirus-hit European countries overwhelmed authorities attempting to process the surge. Frustrated passengers complained of hours-long lines, crowded and unsanitary conditions and general disarray in the system for screening people for symptoms of the virus. "Very close quarters," Ann Lewis Schmidt told CNN, describing conditions at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. "So if we didn't have the virus before, we have a great chance of getting it now!" Schmidt said.
