Mayanti Langer has been a prominent face in Indian sports broadcasting for many years. She has covered the Indian Cricket League (ICL), the ICC Cricket World Cups and also the IPL for several seasons. However, in IPL 2020, she will not be part of the broadcasting panel in the tournament. The host broadcasters have announced the list of presenters and female broadcasters who will be part of IPL 2020 and they are Bhavna Balakrishnan for Tamil, Reena Dsouza, Madhu Mailankody for Kannada, Neha Matcha for Telegu, Anjum Chopra, Lisa Sthalekar, Neroli Meadows (English) and Sanjana Ganesan will be the female commentators and presenters during #Dream11IPL 2020.

Earlier, the list of commentators for IPL 2020 was announced with plenty of big names coming back on air. Harsha Bhogle, Sunil Gavaskar and Ian Bishop will be on commentary duties while the likes of Brett Lee, Dean Jones, Brian Lara, Graeme Swann and Scott Styris will feature in the Dugout show.

However, there will be one big name missing in IPL 2020 and that is Sanjay Manjrekar. Apart from the names mentioned above, Mark Nicholas, JP Duminy, Lisa Sthalekar and Anjum Chopra will also be part of the English team.

Manjrekar had written to the BCCI after he was removed from the commentary panel, offering to apologise. The former India batsman revealed that he was removed from the panel because some player had a problem with him. In a mail to the BCCI, he also mentioned that if reinstated in the commentary panel, he would abide by the rules.

“You are already in receipt of the email I sent to explain my position as commentator. With the IPL dates announced, bcci.tv will pick its commentary panel soon. I will be happy to work as per the guidelines laid by you. After all, we are working on what is essentially your production. Last time, maybe there was not enough clarity on this issue,” he wrote.

Tamil and Telugu commentary as well

The list of Tamil and Telugu commentators have also been announced along with the Hindi commentators. Former chairman of selectors MSK Prasad will be on Telugu commentary while Kris Srikkanth will also be doing Tamil commentary along with Hemang Badani, Abhinav Mukund and Sadagopan Ramesh. The Hindi commentary team will also include Sanjay Bangar apart from Aakash Chopra, Irfan Pathan.
