In what is supposed to be a grand opening ceremony to the new form of cricket that is Indian Premier League, it has been decided that only the captains of the eight teams will be present in the Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18.

“The logistics don’t allow for all teams to gather in one place,” stated the IPL CEO Sundar Raman. Of course, team officials and owners are also expected, along with some of their respective brand ambassadors.
