The change in dates have been agreed upon after discussions between the Hero IWL Local Organising Committee (LOC) and representatives from the 12 clubs involved.
“As the entire eastern coast of the country is preparing for the cyclone, we have decided to take a safety-first approach to reschedule the matches that were to take place in Round 7 of the Hero IWL. While we want to move forward with the league at all times, the safety of the teams and of those working around them comes first in our view,” said AIFF CEO of Leagues and Development.
