The Indian Premier League cricket tournament began on September 19 in UAE, but NADA officials are still waiting for approval from the government authorities to travel to UAE. TOI has reliably learned that the NADA's team of DCOs, which was supposed to fly out to the UAE in the second week of September, hasn't yet left the Indian shores pending approval from the ministry of foreign affairs. The IPL is being played across three venues in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah and will conclude on November 10. The first batch of DCOs was originally scheduled to travel on September 12.
