With talks around staging the Indian Premier League (IPL) or the T20 World Cup doing the rounds, IPL chairman Brijesh Patel has said that they are ready to hold the 2020 edition.

IPL, which was to start on March 29, was postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis in the country. However, no decision regarding the T20 World Cup has taken place which is slated to be held from October 18-November 15 in Australia this year.

"Yes we are ready to go with IPL in September-October window, everything is planned and ready. Will have to follow the guidelines and SOPs, for medical and other things," Patel told ANI.

"Can`t say as of now that whether the crowd will be there or not. We will have to see the situation at that time but yes we are ready to hold IPL this year with or without crowd... We are waiting for the announcement from ICC on T20 World Cup. If it is not happening, we can hold IPL," he added.

Deferring a decision on the upcoming Men's T20 World Cup and the Women's Cricket World Cup 2021 until next month, ICC on Wednesday said it will continue to explore a "number of contingency plans" regarding these events.

Talking about the format of the IPL, Patel also said they want to go with a full-fledged format but will see the situation and take a call accordingly.
