The Indian Premier League is set to resume in the United Arab Emirates in the third week of September, according to reports in India.
The Times of India reports that the lucrative competition will cram 10 double-header matches into a three-week window culminating in early October.
It means there will be no clash with India's tour of England, with the final Test match scheduled to finish on September 14, around four days before the reported restart.
Earlier this week there had been reports that India's governing body, the BCCI, had informally approached the England and Wales Cricket Board with a view to moving the Test series.
