LAHORE (Dunya News) – The International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Monday that in a welcome boost for cricket and sports fans in Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), more tickets have been made available for all games at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.

The tickets will go on sale via www.t20worldcup.com/tickets at 1900 GST on Monday 11 October, said the information made available here by the ICC.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) and event hosts the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have worked closely with host country authorities to ensure fans can be welcomed in a safe environment and COVID-19 protocols will apply at all venues.

Chris Tetley, Head of Events, ICC said said : “We know Oman and the UAE are packed with sports fans from all 16 nations competing at the event, so we’re delighted to be able to release more tickets for all games. We’ve worked closely with our hosts, the venues and our partners to ensure as many fans as possible can be part of what is going to be such a fantastic event.

“The expat community in the region means every team can enjoy home support and with tickets from just 10 OMR and 30 AED, we hope to see stands full of passionate cricket fans cheering their team on. Demand is always incredibly high for tickets to ICC events, so I’d urge fans to be patient and we look forward to welcoming them to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.

“It is important that fans only buy tickets through the official channels at www.t20worldcup.com/tickets We cannot guarantee that any ticket bought on secondary sites will provide access to the match as the unique barcode may have been copied or compromised. We will cancel tickets we identify as being resold, meaning fans would have wasted their money on an invalid ticket that won’t get them into the game.”
