There is not even four months left for the start of the upcoming IPL. It’s hard to invite new teams at this point. Setting up a new franchise within two months is challenging. With the addition of the two teams in 2022, the IPL league matches will increase further. This is a feature that is available to Star Sports, which has acquired the TV broadcasting rights. There is also a new agreement between the BCCI and the channel on coverage of additional matches. Star Sports Telecast rights are also coming to an end with IPL 2021.
From IPL 2022 onwards, the BCCI will have to enter into some agreements with the new broadcaster. For these reasons, the BCCI has been delaying the inclusion of new teams.
