Syed Mushtaq Ali T20: No live telecast for defending champion Karnataka

There will be no live telecast of games played in Bengaluru, Vadodara and Chennai. The only way to track the action in these cities is through basic scoreboard updates.

Karnataka players celebrate the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 title in 2019-20.

The absence of live telecast comes as a big blow to fans of teams competing in Bengaluru (Elite Group A), Vadodara (Elite Group C) and Chennai (Plate Group) in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament.

With spectators and media prohibited from entering venues, the only way to track the action in these three cities is through basic scoreboard updates.

Exceptional performances may not go completely unnoticed, however, as IPL team scouts are allowed in venues.
