| The Indian Premier League will take full responsibility for a centrally-managed security set-up for the second edition of its high-profile Twenty20 league which will cost 10 times more than last year.
IPL chairman Lalit Modi said on Tuesday that the security of players, officials and fans will no longer be left to the individual franchises as was the case last year.
"Security is paramount for us. Players, officials and fans are all very important. Players' security was the responsibility of the teams last year but this time we have gone venue by venue managing the security centrally. Of course we will coordinate with the teams," Modi said at a function to unveil the new logo for IPL second season that starts April 10.
Ahmedabad and Visakhapatnam are the two new venues added to the second season and Modi said talks were also on to get Nagpur and Dharamshala on the the roster. But he didn't give out the much-awaited schedule, saying it was still being fine-tuned.
"We are talking to Dharamshala and Nagpur is also in fray. Schedule is still being fine-tuned as I speak," he said.
