People are enraged. Ganguly fans are hooting the recent multiple captaincy decision for Kolkata Knight Riders. rumor has it that fearing a public outrage after Sourav Ganguly was stripped of sole captaincy role, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) today said they will announce their skipper and squad for the Indian Premier League's second season in South Africa and not here. Interestingly, the development has further fuelled speculation that the Knight Riders think tank was yet to sort out their "differences" with Ganguly.
"I don't want to disclose the names of the players who would be going to South Africa now as we want to keep all options open. We might take the whole squad which took part in the conditioning camp to South Africa. Nothing has been finalized right now. The final team for KKR would be announced in South Africa," said Bhattacharya. However SRK has clearly quoted in his recent interview that he & not anyone will take decision regarding the captaincy & this decision would be taken in South Africa.

Ciao India, South Africa I Am Coming Baby!
The summer has just begun & the heat is already reached its maximum. IPL Season II has raised the temperature in India. Finally the word is out. IPL will no longer be played in India but South Africa as confirmed by Lalit Modi, BCCI Head. IPL’s second season; IPL 2009 finally gets home, to be played across six cities in South Africa starting April 18th. “The overwhelming reason we chose South Africa is primarily its weather.” Says Lalit Modi ostensibly.
England & South Africa were the two prime options for ipl cricket match this year. However England was chalked out primarily due to its cold & wet climate. Another issue is security concerns; England government cannot provide such A-list security in such a short span of time. The ipl t20 match timings will however not be changed & Indians can heave a sigh of relief. The timings will be 4pm to 10pm. However the Indian cricket fans our bitterly disappointed & our voicing their opinions on various social networking websites like Face Book, Orkut, and MySpace etc. One of the IPL Community member Nilesh Rane on Face Book bursts out, “This shows how unstable system we have. Shifting of IPL proves that our State runners are in doubt on India's security.
How safe are we?”
Interestingly, the IPL will be played across six cities & that has only forced Modi to not allocate home bases to the eight teams. “This was a very sensitive & delicate issue (providing a home base for each team). But because we will be playing at six venues we’ve decided that no team will have a home base during the tournament. The matches will be evenly distributed with every team playing equal no of times on each venue.” Modi quoted. Last but not the least news is that even after the venue change Pakistan Cricket Team will not play for IPL because the squads have already been finalized.
