Abstract
Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most successful and popular tournament amongst cricket playing nations in the world. This paper aims at applying operations research to the problem of scheduling the IPL games in India. Sports scheduling has been based and restricted to one variable, which is the minimization of distance travelled by teams during the course of the tournament. We have used the Linear programming problems technique to analyse the application of sports scheduling in the Indian premier league. The limitations of the paper are broadly categorised under economic and overall spectacle contribution reasons. In conclusion, linear programming can be applied in scheduling IPL matches to save costs and maintain a home and away game balance.
