Earlier, Cricket West Indies President, Ricky Skerritt, had confirmed that the BCCI and CPL are in talks to modify the CPL schedule to accommodate the second leg of the Indian Premier League.

"Both IPL and CPL are important to CWI, to our cricketers, and to fans. CWI’s role was to facilitate arrangements for the non-overlapping and smooth transition from one tournament to the next. Cricket administrators must collaborate if cricket is to survive the risks and costs of COVID-19,” Skerritt noted in an official release by CWI.
