I have no clue about his wrongdoings or behavior, so you might be right or wrong? can't say for surety, unless you are pointing at any article etc.

Well, they did shared the hosting couple of times so it shouldn't be tough but ofcourse its all depends on the respective Gov. For the right reasons its their own choice if they are opening the borders for foreign players or not.

As of now, New Zealand is closed for international travelers. I don't think that they will make an exception, just for the world cup. If it was a handful of teams, then there was a chance. But the world cup involves a total of 16 teams and close to 300 players and other staff. So it is a bit complex. That said, Australia is not faring that bad. They are having only around 5-10 new cases per day.

Don't know much about Colin Graves but under him English board and team doing fairly good job, they won the World cup. Yeah Ganguly name going around for quite some time but no official announcement from the BCCI.

Well.. I am not saying that Graves did a bad job at the ECB. But the problem is that he is a bad candidate for the ICC. He holds a lot of contempt for associate nations and right now we don't need such a divisive individual as the head of the ICC. I would rather suggest Kumar Sangakkara as the head of the ICC, with Ganguly as the head of the BCCI. The combination would do wonders.

Or may be Aus and NZ sharing hosting rights? minimum logistics and safety burden for both countries.

That would involve a lot of travel between Australia and New Zealand. Not possible under current circumstances.

T20 World Cup, FTP & more: What's in store as the ICC Board reconvenes

We may get an idea about the next ICC chairman during the meeting tomorrow. The front runner is obviously Colin Graves of England and Wales Cricket Board, and IMO he is the worst possible candidate for that job. He is one of those money minded individuals who will do whatever it takes to prevent the globalization of the sport. There are rumors that Sourav Ganguly (BCCI) and Ehsan Mani (PCB) may also announce their candidature. The candidate needs 8 votes to win out of 17 (12 test nations, 3 Associates, and two independent voters - Indra Nooyi & Shashank Manohar).

The T-20 World Cup is my primary focus. I feel like they might finalize NZ as the host this time around.

The biggest problem New Zealand has is that it is a country that does not have the best time zone of the countries that play cricket.

I don't really think that time zone is a big issue since there are other major issues overall. NZ and Australia would be risking a lot by allowing international players to play in their countries since asymptomatic cases are tougher to detect.

New Zealand would be a neutral host for test cricket this winter. It is favored for being a country declared ‘Covid-19 virus free’

Why not organize IPL in countries declared virus free? NZ and many smaller countries are now virus-free so the players and the required staff can be tested first and then they can organize an event away from India. It's not necessary to organize it in India when the condition is now worse and doesn't seem to improve for months. They are already incurring losses so they need to think of more alternatives. This is only if it's possible and plausible.

Its not easy as we are feeling because New Zealand is Corona free but Borders are still close and they need some good time for visitors to allow as danger is still on and IPL is very big event they need some good time and things for this all to organise main thing is BCCI will go or have any intention to play in New Zealand.

That is the problem, the Government of a particular country needs to think about opening up borders to the rest of the countries which could be a big risk right now with the cases averaging over 100k every day. New Zealand have done a great job along with Australia at containing the virus which could be good for the T20 world cup but again its up to the Giovernments if they want to take the risk on opening up borders and if they do I suspect that there will be tough regulations on the incoming teams into the countries.

If the BCCI is planning to organize IPL, first the New Zealand government needs to approve conducting a global tournament and if that is possible then they can think about conducting the T20 World Cup.

The situation with IPL is that all the players are having a contract for the year 2020 to get paid and how the contract are signed if the tournament is cancelled is not known.

Players would have to compromise somewhere as everyone is getting a pay cut and hence, they wouldn't get paid as per their contracts due to losses I guess. Since tomorrow is the meeting, we may get a clear idea of what is their decision.

If we had a normal year, we would have easily known by know the champion for 2020 in IPL. But things turned out to be different for now and not even sure what is going to happen in coming time. Will we even have the IPL or will it be cancelled is still the suspense and hopefully in coming couple of months we would have certain clarity on it.

~
@7788bitcoin according to Michael Holding who’s a former West Indies pacer, he has suggested that BCCI should be allowed to stage the IPL if ICC fails to organise the T20 World Cup. Also according to Dean Jones who’s a former Australian cricketer he has made a smart suggestion, i.e. to shift the T20 World Cup venue from Australia to New Zealand as New Zealand has almost won the battle against Covid. However at this stage we do not know whether we will be seeing IPL or we will be seeing the T20 World Cup, and till the ICC announces it’s final decision we can only continue to speculate about these events.

The picture is clear, if the ICC fails to organise the T20 World Cup but Michael Holding and many others are certain that IPL could be conducted and that in a country where the health care system is not the best and the second most populated country Roll Eyes

. From the statistics they were not able to control the curve and what happens if the second and third wave hits, but some are fine with the IPL is a hypocritical view and may be because they are getting paid really well to support them.

^^^^ New Zealand is a small country of 4 million people, and I am not sure whether they can host a massive tournament which involve 16 teams. Even if they have the necessary infrastructure in place, international travel is currently not allowed in to New Zealand. The government need to give an exemption to the World Cup, and I am not sure whether they will react positively to any such request.

This is not easy for them even they are good and able to do this because right now in most of countires situation is not good specially in sub-continent and they will not allow peoeples to rush and creat problems for them but still wait and watch is best for all of us hopefully we will able to have some more good news from Australia as well in near future.

Never take Holding's wisdom seriously when he talks about any T-20 league even if he's favoring any T-20 league because he's one of the key critics of the franchise cricket and according to him BCCI and IPL ruined the world cricket.

About jones statement on WC hosting in NZ... couple of days back one kiwi (hope he's kiwi Cheesy

Should New Zealand throw their hat for T-20 WC hosting? Seems they already lifting all the restrictions, all they have to do is follow quarantine idea at start for all teams/staff or whatever they decides?

New Zealand could return to normal life as early as next week

Quote

Wellington: New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Wednesday she could lift all social distancing measures to return the country to normal life, bar the international border closure, as early as next week.

Ardern will decide on Monday whether the country is ready to shift to alert level 1, more than two months after she imposed a strict level 4 lockdown, shutting most businesses and forcing people to stay home, in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lol no way! We managed to get out of this thing OK. We are not risking opening our borders for a long time! Cheesy

May get an unexpected series between AU/NZ tho!

Oh well, i feel like i am repeating myself Tongue

. Yes BBL window is Dec-Jan but they always play international home series at the same time, no matter what, Don't forget about "Boxing Day Test" which is fixed for X-mas.

2016-17 South Africa tour of Australia (Oct-Nov-Dec-Jan)
2017-18 England tour of Australia (Nov-Jan)
2018-19 India tour of Australia (Nov-Jan)
2019-20 NZ tour of Australia (Dec-Jan)
2020-21 Upcoming India tour of Australia ( Nov-Dec-Jan)

Well.. that's also true. BBL doesn't get the same importance from CA, as the IPL gets from the BCCI. The revenues are not that great, and that may be the reason. As far as I know, CA get a majority of their revenue from bilateral series and other matches involving the national team. The case is different with BCCI and the IPL. But this may be changing. BBL rights got auctioned for a very high amount in 2019.

The Floyd issue triggered certain Cricketers too and am surprised to see Sammy hurling allegations all of a sudden after so long about the IPL. He never expressed his resentment before since money probably kept his mouth shut.

Far worse incidents happened in comparison to what he experienced. This article talks about a couple of them.
