I heard that T20 world cup is likely to be postponed till 2022. Although the decision is not final yet but there are high possibilities that This year’s T20 World Cup may be postponed to 2022 . I know it will disappoint many of us including me, if this decision is finalized.
It is a highly likely situation as the WHO already announced that the virus will be here to stay for a few years, i do not take what they say on face value as they changed their opinions several times during the past several months. Since all of the proposed tournaments are shifted to indefinite dates and there is no clue as to when everything becomes normal, it is a decision they have to take either way rather than moving the tournament without any foresight of when everything can be resumed.
Due to tight scheduled of the cricket events, it may not be possible for the ICC to conduct the tournament in 2021. I think they should reschedule it to next year even if they have to cancel other tournaments. T20 World cup is important tournament and it should be given preference over other cricket tournaments.
Even in this situation the economic situation will play a major hand, In ICC tournaments majority of the share goes to the ICC but the other tournaments the share belongs to the parent country where the tournament is conducted.
The BCCI should have constructed stadiums in North-east India and in places such as Andaman Nicobar Islands. It would have been mutually beneficial for both the parties.
If anyone anticipated a virus shutting the entire world, they would have taken steps to prevent it. BCCI spends money only if they think it will be worth the investment and more over it is a ecological sensitive area and hence it is impossible to get permission to built a stadium.
I have seen many suggestion taking the IPL to other countries and even Sri Lankan cricket board invited from what i read. It is not safe to carry on any tournaments in India because we all know the situation is getting worse on a daily basis.
