This is going to be a historic blunder from the part of the BCCI. The pandemic in India is yet to peak, and with every passing day there is an increase in the new infections. Three of the metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata) are severely affected and the other cities are not faring that well either. They can make preparations only if the situation comes under control, and in my opinion it may take at least four more months.
I think you mistakenly replaced Chennai with Kolkata. Kolkata with 3000+ infections is not even close compared to other metros. Even Ahmedabad has more infections than Kolkata. And some say this condition is going to last until next year
Yesterday i was reading live feed of ICC meeting (posted in the last page). for some reason they put up Ian chappell interview, he was basically saying that every board need to stand up against the BCCI. No matter if World cup gets cancel or not, don't send players for IPL and play domestic cricket only..
Maybe Ian Chappell holds some grudge with Ganguly because of his brother Greg
