The Board of Control for Cricket in India is considering foreign venues for next year’s edition of the Indian Premier League, Secretary Anurag Thakur said on Thursday. The board is facing two separate Public Interest Litigations, one in Rajasthan and another in Chhattisgarh, asking for matches from the ongoing tournament to be moved out of their states given that they are facing severe drought conditions.

“The constant shifting is getting tough. From now, before drawing the schedule, we will check the availability of venues and prevailing conditions,” Thakur said, according to The Indian Express.

On April 13, the Bombay High Court had ruled that the state cannot hold any IPL matches after April 30, meaning 13 games had to be moved elsewhere. The petition in the Bombay High Court, which cited drought conditions and the large amounts of water required to prepare a stadium for an IPL match, was followed by similar appeals in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.

The IPL was held in South Africa in 2009 amid fears of terrorism and corruption, and also because the Lok Sabha polls were scheduled at the same time. A portion of it was held in the United Arab Emirates in 2014, again, as it coincided with the general elections.
