Significantly, Pakistan wanted to organize the Asia Cup but the BCCI was not in favor of holding the Asia Cup. This time the IPL can be outside India as Coronavirus cases are increasing at the rapid rate in India.
So it is impossible to organize IPL 2020 in India. 3 countries have also offered BCCI to organize IPL 2020. This includes Sri Lanka, UAE, and New Zealand.

There is still no certainty over the host country of the IPL 2020. Due to the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), the T20 World Cup in Australia in October-November also seems impossible and the cancellation of the Asia Cup may give the BCCI time to complete IPL in this window.
