After the IPL Governing Council meet here, Ganguly told reporters whether the IPL will be truncated in terms of days or matches remains to be seen.

Speaking on the shortening of the IPL, he said, “If it is postponed till April 15, then it in any case 15 days are gone, so it has to be truncated one.” “How truncated, how many games I can’t say at the moment.”
