It's been over a week since the BCCI wrote to the Indian government for permission to shift the IPL to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but according to sources, the approval hasn't arrived.

Without the Indian government's green signal, today's Governing Council meeting, which will be chaired by Brijesh Patel, may not hold a lot of importance. If at all it is held, the government's nod will top the 10-point agenda.

"We will get to know tomorrow. We have written to the government. We will take the updates tomorrow about the situation," a top BCCI official told mid-day on Saturday. There will be nothing official about the IPL in the UAE until the Board receives the government's nod.
