ICC set to take call on venue of T20 World Cup on June 1
The concerns have arisen since the suspension of IPL 2021 midway through the season
(Web Desk) – The uncertainty over the fate of Men’s T20 World Cup scheduled to be played in India is expected to end by June 1 when the Executive Meeting of the ICC is scheduled to be held.
According to media reports, the game’s global governing body will discuss the possibility of whether it will be safe to host the marquee event in India considering it’s current Covid-19 situation.
There are speculations that the tournament may be shifted to the UAE with India battling a deadly second wave of coronavirus pandemic and experts predicting a third wave as well. The concerns have arisen since the suspension of IPL 2021 midway through the season earlier this month after the growing cases inside the various team bubbles.
“The ICC is not unaware of the situation but one cannot speculate on what will be the decision on June 1. One has to wait and see.”
The BCCI will convey its decision to the ICC during the latters meeting on June 02 but the board’s case has significantly weakened following the suspension of the 14th season of the Indian Premier League after multiple Covid positive cases were reported in four different franchises earlier this month.
