This Year in the month of April, 2009 onwards till May 13th, 2009 was scheduled of IPL Season 2 and it was not possible to move the time ahead or backward because of tight schedule and commitment of players towards their respective countries and during this time Election Commission of India announced General Elections in India which held in five phases and completed in almost just over one month time, which was become reason for Home Minister of India Mr. P.Chidambaram to held meetings after meetings to convince it’s organizers to shift it’s schedule or change dates for some time or cancel IPL Season 2 as his Ministry wont be able to give adequate security for these matches because of it’s date’s were clashing with elections and in today’s environment of terrorism tight security is must for holding any events smoothly otherwise it can tarnish image of any country in the mind of tourists to travel that country is dangerous, so as mentioned above Mr. Lalit Modi Chairman and Commissioner of IPL in discussion with Home Ministry told that it’s not possible for him to drag IPL Season 2 match further because of Players commitment with their countries, In the end when talk failed with the Government then it was appearing that this year there will be no IPL,but Mr.Lalit Modi was committed to host IPL Season 2 during announced dates then in less then three weeks time he talked with England and South Africa for hosting IPL 2 ,and as per news South Africa awarded to host IPL Season 2 because of weather as during this period in England rain can disrupt matches badly plus organizers get heavy discounts from South Africa .
