IPL media book given away nearing end of tournament

The IPL is in its fifth year, but this was the first occasion a media guide has been prepared for the cash-rich tournament.

"We have distributed the media guide to every home centre this week, over the last three days," said a Cricket Board source when inquired whether the booklet had been distributed to all media persons.

The guide contains details about the tournament, including playing conditions, that started on April 4 and is set to conclude on May 27.
