The 2009 Indian Premier League will now take place in South Africa. Security concerns in India forced organisers to seek an alternative host, But following talks with Cricket South Africa (CSA) IPL boss Lalit Modi opted for South Africa ultimately because of the favourable weather conditions.
The tournament will start a week later than planned, running from 18 April to 24 May. The opening match will be played in Cape Town, while Johannesburg will stage the final, with Pretoria, Durban, Port Elizabeth and East London also venues for matches.
