On Thursday 28 May, the ICC board meeting is to be held through teleconference. It is in this meeting that a decision is to be taken on the ICC T20 World Cup 2020, which is proposed for October-November in Australia, but reports are being told that the T20 World Cup is being postponed due to Coronavirus and this time Indian The Board of Control for Cricket, ie BCCI, is getting the IPL to organize, but India has to deal with the coronavirus conditions before the IPL can be organized.
The decision to postpone the ICC T20 World Cup not for a few months or a year, but for two years, may come up in the ICC board meeting on Thursday, ie, in 2021 also the T20 World Cup is proposed in India. In such a situation, two World Cups cannot happen in a year. So this year’s T20 World Cup will be held in 2022. Sources associated with the ICC have told the board meeting the possibility of preparing blueprints for bilateral series.
The ICC board member, on condition of anonymity, told news agency PTI, “There is a good chance that the World T20 will be postponed during Thursday’s board meeting. Whether or not there will be a formal announcement is a question. In this situation (Corona Virus epidemic) there is little chance of the World T20 moving forward. I don’t think Cricket Australia or the top cricket board will have any trouble postponing it’.
This board meeting of the ICC can also safely conclude that India will visit Australia later this year, as a bilateral preoccupation with more preference for ICC members to recover from the financial losses suffered during the epidemic. There is a possibility of giving. The board member has also said that not only the countries but also Star Sports will suffer a lot, as it has rights to domestic cricket and IPL rights of BCCI besides ICC events.
The 13th season of IPL was to begin on March 29, which was to last until May 24, but the Coronavirus left the window out of BCCI’s hands. Even IPL 2020 is not likely to happen in the next few months. In such a situation, the BCCI also had an October-November window to organize the IPL, for which the Indian Cricket Board had to wait for the ICC’s decision to postpone the T20 World Cup, which is now almost possible.
