Saikia said, "Complaints about the weather have been received from both players and fans. We want the tournament to end by May 15 so that the playoffs and final are held in better weather."
Many foreign players are not accustomed to the Indian summer, which causes them considerable difficulty in playing.
No Change in the Number of Matches
IPL 2027 will be the 20th edition of the tournament, and the BCCI is preparing to make it memorable.
However, the board has clarified that there are currently no plans to increase the number of matches.
There had been discussions for a long time about increasing the IPL from 74 to 94 matches, but this has been ruled out.

According to Saikia, it is difficult to find a window longer than two months considering the international cricket calendar and the availability of foreign players.
Therefore, the IPL will continue to be played in a 74-match format in the coming years.
Future Outline
This proposed change is a significant step towards making the IPL more sustainable and player-friendly.
If this plan is implemented, it will not only provide relief to the players but also give fans a chance to watch matches in a better environment.
This decision by the board will ensure that the world's biggest cricket league is conducted successfully without any weather-related obstacles.
