Andhra Pradesh police said they have no objection to IPL matches being organised in the state after April 26.

"We have studied the revised schedule submitted by the IPL organisers and accordingly informed them that there is no objection to the conduct of matches after April 26.

"However, matches will not be possible for four days from May 14 when the police will be busy with bandobust duties for counting of votes on May 16," Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) AK Khan said.

Deccan Chargers have agreed

The IPL organisers, Deccan Chargers have agreed to the dates suggested by the police and have accordingly started working out a new schedule, Khan said.

IPL matches are scheduled to be held in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh this season.

"The issue is resolved now. We don't see any great difficulty in providing security for the cricket matches," the Additional DGP remarked.

The state police had earlier said they would not be in a position to provide security for the IPL T20 matches as they clashed with the general election schedule.

Even the second schedule announced by the IPL organisers was rejected by the police following which the third alternative schedule was worked out, he said.

"No extra security for IPL"

Interestingly, even when the four-day first class competitions were held earlier in the season, the PCB had cut the match fees and daily allowances of players to Rs 10,000 from around Rs 15 and Rs 20,000.

The former Director-General of PCB, Javed Miandad had said he would ensure that the players are paid more for the domestic first class games, but he resigned suddenly without implementing his proposals.

Players have also complained that they have still not received their dues from their new central contracts plus their share of an annual logo sponsorship deal the PCB has signed with Pepsi. The board is supposed to distribute 80 percent of the logo sponsorship deal to the cricketers.
