A decision whether England or South Africa will host the second edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Twenty20 competition will be taken by Tuesday night, IPL Chairman Lalit Modi said.
"We need to take a decision by tomorrow, one way or the other and we will have a decision by tomorrow night," Modi said shortly before leaving for Johannesburg.
The chairman of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will travel to South Africa and England in an effort to finalise an overseas venue for this year's edition of the Twenty20 competition.
The Indian Cricket board announced on Sunday that it would stage next month's event abroad after failing to get Government clearance for security cover because the tournament dates clashed with the country's general elections.
"I'll be visiting both England and South Africa in the next 24 hours," IPL chief Lalit Modi said.
Modi was quoted as saying in a TV channel that wet weather and packed hotel rooms around the London marathon on April 26 were concerns in England.
