This edition of the marquee ICC event is scheduled to be held jointly in the West Indies and the USA in June and most of the teams, including India, have already finished their T20I assignments. "The IPL [set to be played between March-May], along with any other T20 tournament, like the ILT20, is important for any player to be performing. It allows you to continue with that sort of confidence, going into an important [T20] World Cup," Moody said.
