RCB Director Mike Hesson Comments that the team is ready for the IPL

Director of cricket operations for the Royal Challenger Bengaluru franchise, Mike Hesson, has commented that “the RCB side will be ready for the Indian Premier League, if and when that happens”.

Speaking on the matter, Mike Hesson commented that “the management for the team, was still hopeful, that the IPL would take place, and that all members involved with the franchise are optimistic over the matter”.

The RCB franchise that has been part of the IPL, since the first season, has not won the title even once, despite making it into the finals on more than one occasion. This time around the RCB franchise was coming into the IPL, after having purchased some big-name players such as Chris Morris and Aaron Finch. Many fans were hoping that finally, the team would be able to live the title this season, with a new team.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had forced the BCCI, to push back the start of the IPL, indefinitely. Currently, there is no start date for the IPL, and with scheduling conflicts existing for the rest of the year, it remains unclear when the tournament will be held.

Speaking on the matter, Hesson commented that “the BCCI, was right to call of the even in light of the security threat that existed for players and spectators”.
