Dubai / Christchurch, Dt
The world of cricket has also come to a standstill due to the Corona epidemic that has paralyzed sports and public life around the world. A meeting of the chief executive committee of the International Cricket Council (ICC) was convened today to discuss the implications, including economic, ranging from the rescheduling of series suspended due to Corona. In this meeting, it was decided to make necessary changes in the future travel programs till the year 207. However, no decision has been taken on the T20 World Cup to be held on Australian soil in October. Meanwhile, the CEO of the New Zealand Cricket Board said that no decision has been taken on the T20 World Cup 2020 before July. The fate of the T20 World Cup will be decided in July.
The meeting of the ICC's chief executive committee was organized by teleconferencing at a time when tourism is currently closed due to Corona. The meeting discussed the ongoing World Test Championship and the proposed One Day League starting in June. However, it was decided to take a decision in the coming days. "Cricket has been severely affected by the Corona epidemic," the ICC said in a list released after the meeting. Given the current situation, we have to make major changes in our future tour program till the year 203 and announce new dates for many series as well as tournaments. We will now review this in detail and take further action.
England's tour of Sri Lanka, Australia's tour of New Zealand as well as West Indies and Pakistan's series against England have been postponed. Apart from this, other international events as well as national leagues of countries have also been severely affected. Alternative plans are also being considered for the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia in October this year. The ICC told all members at the meeting that the process of alternative planning for its tournament was underway.
Meanwhile, New Zealand Cricket Board CEO David White said before the meeting that "we are currently considering various alternative plans for the T20 World Cup." Many issues have been discussed between us. However, no decision has been taken at the present stage. I think the final decision will be made in July.
Possibility of change in T20 World Cup schedule
Kevin Roberts, chief executive of the Australian Cricket Board, also known as Cricket Australia, has hinted that the schedule for the T20 World Cup could change. The Australian Cricket Board is currently working closely with the ICC, Roberts said. Negotiations are underway between the local planning committee and the government for the T20 World Cup. We are considering all options for hosting the T20 World Cup in Australia. We are trying to make the T20 World Cup a memorable celebration and keep everyone safe. The Australian Cricket Board has suffered a financial blow and is now looking forward to hosting the T20 World Cup at any cost. According to the current schedule, the T20 World Cup will be played from October 14 to November 15.
T20 World Cup could be postponed for three months: Finch
Aaron Finch, captain of Australia's limited overs team, has said that the T20 World Cup could be postponed for three months due to the Corona epidemic. He said that in the current epidemic, the planning of the T20 World Cup may have to be postponed. Depending on the situation, it may be postponed for one, two or three months. It seems to me that once the Corona epidemic is brought under control, the players will be ready to play, whether there are spectators in the stadium or not.
