Ness Wadia Supports Proposal to Start IPL in January, Cites Scheduling Considerations
Punjab Kings co-owner Ness Wadia supports Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Juhi Chawla's proposal to start the IPL in January instead of late March, provided the international and domestic cricket calendars allow. Wadia highlighted potential benefits like avoiding heat and rain and extending the season but noted scheduling challenges with other tournaments. He also expressed that the current 10-team format is sufficient for now, despite plans to increase matches from 74 to 94 starting in 2028.
