Manchester United owners showing interest to be a part of the Indian Premier League could be one of the reasons why BCCI extended the date for purchasing the Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the two new IPL teams.
Manchester United received a double financial boost as their owners agreed to pay off huge debts from outside club funds while first-quarter results on Tuesday showed strong matchday and commercial revenues.

The Emirates Cricket Board will conduct the inaugural International League T20 from January 6 to February 12, 2023, with three IPL franchises owning outfits in the six-team league.
