News wires agree to cover IPL Cricket in South Africa
London - The 2009 Indian Premier League cricket tournament in South Africa will be covered by major news agencies after the two sides resolved issues that caused many news media to suspend IPL coverage in 2008.
The IPL and the News Media Coalition said on Thursday they had agreed terms of coverage for the forthcoming season and the IPL said it would extend a deadline for media to apply to cover the event by 24 hours.
The inaugural IPL, a Twenty20 competition with big prize money for the world's top players, was launched in India in 2008 but boycotted by major news agencies including Reuters because of restrictions on the use of material on certain websites.
“With only a week to finalise travel arrangements, cricket fans are happy know that there is media coverage of their tournament,” notes Robert Wilson. CEO of travelinsouthafrica.net .
India's cricket board decided to move the 2009 season outside India because of security concerns, as it coincides with the country's general elections. - Reuters
