Indian Premier league has now been rescheduled and two new venues are added after concerns about the security. However, the matches will start on April 10 as scheduled and end on May 24. Because of election in India, terror attack in Pakistan, the following new changes has been made to IPL 2009:
1) The opening match will be played in Mumbai instead of Jaipur.
2) No matches will be held on the day of election and 3 days before and after it.
3) Two new venues - Ahmedabad and Vishakapatnam are added.
The final full schedules and fixtures are yet to be announced but its now clear that it will start and end on time. Home minister had said that they could provide security if the matches directly didn't clash with election schedules which means it has happened as he said.
Several foreign players have raised concerns about the security for playing in IPL. All Pakistan players will not play IPL 2009 now and Pietersen, the most expensive player is too doubtful.
