The police objected to holding the Kolkata match on April 17.

A board official told the news agency,“CAB has requested us to change the match day. But the final decision has not yet been made. It is heard that CAB wants to hold the match a day earlier on April 16 or a day later on April 18. That claim was accepted.

After that, when the election date is announced, the rest of the schedule is also announced. That schedule is subject to change. An IPL official said, “We are in talks with the police.
