News emanating from the Indian camp, currently in the middle of a Test series in New Zealand, suggest 
that they are unhappy with the BCCI's decision to move the IPL out of India.
Sachin Tendulkar, who is the Mumbai Indians captain in the IPL, said: "it would be difficult to replicate the same feeling abroad. It is disappointing that the IPL has been moved out of India. We will certainly miss playing in front of our
supporters. It won't be the same."
"It's obviously going to be different because in India we used to have home and away matches," he said. "Right now looking at the itinerary whether it's going to be in South Africa or England, everything will be an away game for us."
Tendulkar, however, said there won't be shortage of Indian fans in either country because of the huge expat population.
"You don't know which is a home or an away game," he said. "It's always fantastic to have Indian fans away from country, we always appreciate it. Nowadays, virtually wherever we go we have a lot of Indian supporters cheering us, it is a big strength and support for us."
India colleague Yuvraj Singh, who is also the skipper of Kings XI Punjab, said although he was disheartened he would abide by the decision of the BCCI.
"It is sad that the IPL won't be held in India. But we have to go ahead with it as it is the decision of the Board," Yuvraj said
