Maxwell thinks IPL is possible without Crowd

One of the options for BCCI is to host the IPL in the October-November window if the ICC decides to postpone the T20 World Cup (October 18-November 15). There has also been talks of conducting the tournaments behind closed doors.

Maxwell, one of the biggest draws in IPL, feels the cash-rich league still has the potential to be held in front of empty stands.

If you look at the way it’s going to be set out, it’s going to be hard for us to have crowds there," Maxwell told ABC

"It’s going to be hard for us to justify having a World Cup when we can’t get people into the grounds. So I can’t see it happening in the near future.

“We’ve got to take care of everyone’s health and wellbeing.

“I think if the IPL goes ahead they can probably survive without any crowds, but I can’t see the T20 World Cup surviving without any people there.” added Maxwell

However, Maxwell does accepts that players haven't been informed anything regarding the future of IPL this year.
