XtraTime Web Desk: The much-awaited schedule of IPL 2020 will be released on Sunday, revealed the Chairman of IPL Brijesh Patel on Saturday.

The 13^th edition of the cash rich league is set to begin from September 19 and the fans have been eagerly waiting for the schedule for a long period of time. Asked about the schedule, Patel told ANI: "The schedule will be released tomorrow."

The tournament will be played from September 19 to November 10 in the UAE across three venues -- Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.

All the teams have already reached UAE to take part in the tournament and are currently undergoing training. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was the last team to begin training as they finally stepped on the field on Friday after their third round of Covid-19 tests.

Last week, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had confirmed that 13 personnel, including two players, had tested positive for Covid-19. However, the board had not specified as to which team had how many confirmed cases. The identity of the players and staff was also not revealed.

"13 personnel have tested positive, of which two are players. All the affected personnel as well as their close contacts are asymptomatic and have been isolated from other team members. They are being monitored by the IPL Medical Team," the BCCI had said in an official release.
