It seems like we really might get to see the T20 world cup this year, without crowd! It seems like many players want this to happen.

Well at-least there will be some cricket but I think no one can say it for sure if it will happen in this year or not. We can not speculate in which direction the pandemic is going. Month ago they said in April everything will go back to normal etc etc but it seem we are in higher high in several countries and every day it's going worse than the previous day.

Let's just hope that we improve soon and go back to normal. These days are really making everyone mentally stressed.

The lack of planning and foresight is a big issue, earlier the government said they are planning a one day lock down and there is nothing to worry and the next day they shut the entire country for 21 days, even if you go to grocery stores you cannot find essential goods as the shelves are empty.

And it's still the same. No improvement yet.

Cummins eager for T20 World Cup to go ahead

Well this could happen as Australia has done a great job up to this point to keep the corona virus under control however winter is coming in the next 2 months and for the best couple of years the flu has been pretty bad here. Hopefully we everyone in lock down it steams the flu as well as the virus and then we could see the T20 World Cup go ahead and like I said, the Australian summer goes right into March so there is a lot of time for this to be played.

The Aussies (board as well as the cricketers) are ready to host it; however, the real question is whether the other countries will be ready to play with so many conditions or not.

PCB seems to be in favor of having the world cup this year and they're even going for an "online fitness test": Roll Eyes

Regardless of other sporting event scheduled later this year I think it is better to cancel everything untill there is a cure found for this deadly virus. Why risk anyone's life for the sake of just entertainment?

Countries who have the best medical facilities are the one which are becoming crippled with this virus. The effect of this virus in third world countries would be devastating.

Cure may be at least 6 months (or more likely 12 months plus) away. The big question is whether the global economy can sustain a continued lockdown for almost an year. My prediction is that within 2-3 months, people will get used to it and would return to work (while maintaining social distancing norms). The same will happen with the sporting events as well. They may play their matches, without any spectators.

Yeah, in comparison of (USA, Italy,France) India doing good job considering she has billion people and overall healthcare system is a big disaster. Good thing is community spread seems controllable due to complete lock down so numbers are not going up, having said that its bit early to say and we have to wait 5-10 days more. Plus India is not doing enough tests. Authorities might want to ramp up with the testing in next few weeks for more clarity.

The testing must be ramped up to understand the real dept of the situation, a country with a billion population has tested just 128,320 people till now and that is not a great figure to understand the real situation, local community spread will be much higher and there are reported cases of virus in slums of Mumbai which is scary as the numbers will rise exponentially if that is not taken care.

There is always someone to blame in every where including the place I live. Yeah, media are worse, governments do not care (possibly they do not have the resources) but if the citizens are aware and take this pandemic seriously then rest of the things are very easy.

The lack of planning and foresight is a big issue, earlier the government said they are planning a one day lock down and there is nothing to worry and the next day they shut the entire country for 21 days, even if you go to grocery stores you cannot find essential goods as the shelves are empty.

Considering the fact that virus in all countries are on rising mode other than China so does not seems that eradication could happen overnight .

You cannot trust the numbers coming out from China as the number of missing persons after the pandemic is on the rise, the families have no idea where they are and with the global community blaming them you cannot expect them to say the truth.

It could be.. Word is BCCI considering mini IPL. Not sure how to react as COVID-19 situation is not good right now.

I read some news about India and it did not look good to me. The country is over populated and not everyone is willing to stay at home especially those who do not have any food at home. This is really not good for the country and in this situation I do not think any of the overseas players and their board will be taking risk to send their player in India unless this corona disappears fully from every corner of the word.

Considering the fact that virus in all countries are on rising mode other than China so does not seems that eradication could happen overnight . It would take couple of months and BCCI does not have that luxury of time to hold it later half of the year when the other series of different countries would be fixed already . So most likely IPL would have to be cancelled unless something magic happens.

Yeah, It was Migrant disaster due to petty politics, ego and lack of responsibility, i covered this here before when we were talking about " Power of media"

After media outrage Delhi and UP's Govs already took necessary steps and this situation got resolved with in 48 hours (Almost). Around million or so staying in Delhi and remaining went to their homes.

There is always someone to blame in every where including the place I live. Yeah, media are worse, governments do not care (possibly they do not have the resources) but if the citizens are aware and take this pandemic seriously then rest of the things are very easy.

Stay at home, keep social distance
Those who have enough give some to those who are in need
Spread awareness.

If anyone is saying that it's not going to affect them because of this and that, then they are wrong. You do not want to take steps after you face the same which America, Italy are facing right now.

I know a lot of you are from India. Just stay safe.

80 percent of the citizens are following the guidelines issued by the government. The problem is with those 20 percent who think they are more smart than the rest of the world, these are self declared morons who have stupidity virus which can never be cured.

What do you guys think?

It could be.. Word is BCCI considering mini IPL. Not sure how to react as COVID-19 situation is not good right now.

But i don't blame Players and they are not alone, English players too having same sentiments about the IPL. It makes sense as in most cases IPL contract are way bigger than their yearly contracts (Board contract).

Yeah the virus doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon as cases continue to grow daily around 80k+ however they don't seem to be growing as much in Asia so there could be a possibility we see a mini IPL tournament played. India seem to have done well to control the spread of the virus so maybe it could be played in a region where there are no cases? I'm sure that they will make a lot of money just from TV rights alone.

I doubt now that IPL will happen this year. The virus has started spreading in India at an alarming rate now, daily there are 100 plus cases that are being reported. The situation after the Delhi incident has gone pretty bad.

Still the fatality rate are low but in no time that will also increase. Forget about IPL and other sports untill a vaccine is out. Indian government might extend the lockdown. Pretty much messed up situation for now.

BCCI is already sitting on multiple back up plans if situation gets under control in some regions so yeah we can never rule out this scenario. I think BCCI & CO cooperation could make big money in that case. Imagine Lock down + No cricket in any part of the world and majority of Cricket star playing in the IPL.

I saw on my countries local news that there are many Australian cricket players wanting the IPL season to go ahead and that they are happy to play. I'm thinking that they are saying this because right now cricket Australia and the players are trying to work out a deal with players getting paid which could take a while to come to an agreement so I'm thinking that is why some of the Australia players want the IPL to go ahead. What do you guys think?

Dear Friend please check all realities there is no comparison between Pakistan and Afghanistan situation Pakistan was facing some proxy war from USA, India and Afghanistan so just because of this all Pakistan was in War but now in recent years all is normal and its never been fair to compare these two countries in security issues as India is doing their best for terror attacks in Pakistan through Afghanistan as they have some strong background in this all which was some cleared by Pakistan as Kalbushan was arrested and now its in under control.

If you are hearing only the Pakistan media then you might be brainwashed as the facts says otherwise. Remember Osama bin Laden, Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi bin al Shibh and many others they were all captured from Pakistan, hope you will not claim that they were magically placed inside Pakistan to frame them. Even the current prime minister Imran Khan accepted that there are terrorist in the country and the previous governments were training and funding them. There might be steps taken to control these by the current government but claiming that they were facing proxy war is just nonsense.

I know this is way off and since there is no cricket and you made this fancy claims i wanted to respond. When it comes to international teams visiting Pakistan, not sure what Australian and England cricket board will decide. What ever be the case security is more important than any sporting events and hence i do not see any major international cricket tournaments taking place.

Who gets the WC rights or not? its not upto BCCI per se but ICC voting committee and bidding. I am all up for BCCI bashing anytime but i suggest please use better argument and keep emotions on check.

I agree with the last paragraph of your post. Let the hosting rights be decided on the basis of voting. In case Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh could make a joint bid, then they may get 3 assured votes (out of a total of 14?). If they could persuade Afghanistan by giving them the rights to host one or two games, then it gets to 4 out of 14. 4 more are needed and I don't think that it will be very difficult for them. They can get support from countries such as Ireland, if they are generous enough to allow a bilateral tour.

I guess for selection there is already one dedicated panel which evaluate all the proposal and rotation policy. Plus not sure if any country has any say in it or voting works this way, So can't add anything but will look into this topic.

As far as i know WC tournament are the main source of income for ICC and that's where they generate their revenue which gets distributed to all the countries. We can only imagine if by any chance something goes wrong with the ICC tournament then small cricket board might get bankrupt as they are solely depended on ICC revenue model.

With all due respect, You don't need to play victim card for starters. BCCI didn't attack the SriLankan team in pakistan, Taliban did! that's why Pakistan didn't get the hosting rights and ICC kicked them out because no team wanted to tour Pakistan and if you want to blame India for this then you are free to do so..

There is a security issue in Afghanistan and the same is with Pakistan. These boards first need to convince other cricket playing nation that they are safe for their players before they decide to bid for a cricket tournament.
