^^^^ At first I thought that three international teams would be playing this inaugural edition of 3 Team cricket. My hopes were dashed when I checked the article. Three South African teams would be taking part, each of them lead by Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada and AB de Villiers. Anyway, I will be watching the match, in case TV coverage is available in India.
Haha at first i thought the same then reality hit me on the head that travel is banned every where so, no chance. I would say still its some thing and i don't mind if Indian board doing same thing in India as well but BCCI eyes are on IPL only.

I think its the end for the T20 world cup this year as the virus cases continue to grow in Victoria where the final was meant to be played. Its a shame as Australia have been doing a good job at containing the virus but a cluster started when overseas travellers arrived in Melbourne and the staff and security at the hotels contracted the virus and now its out of control so the T20 world cup most likely won't go ahead now.

Cricket enthusiasts will really bad for now because T20 world cup is something more attracted to new generation people but this year we are going to miss that entertainment and also they missed IPL as well.Its time for to save human kind from deadly virus so safe distance from everyone to save you as well as others.More here: https://www.insidesport.co/all-is-over-for-t20-world-cup-as-cases-increase-in-victoria-ipl-2020-set-to-get-lifeline/
@vella85 this is sad news for fans like me who were eagerly waiting for the T20 World Cup, and I can’t believe that few days ago situation was completely under control, and there were even talks of fans being allowed back in the stadium, and hence it’s difficult for me to understand why did Australia suddenly let it’s guard down?. Further IPL will definitely be scheduled if the World Cup is off, but with no fans in the stadium and limited over seas player’s, I'm not sure if it’ll be as entertaining as it usually is?.

Most chances this will telecast on TenSports and SuperSports as both are very good for cricket in this region and South African have good connections with them this could be very interesting how three teams going to do this for Cricket revolution.

(More games + Revenue +easy to handle logistics in short period of time) After that England can play test series against Pakistan.
Hopefully we will see Cricket resume and they will come up with something to add these tournaments since Pakistan and West Indies are in the English shores.(More games + Revenue +easy to handle logistics in short period of time) After that England can play test series against Pakistan.

The recent 2019 World Cup final was way more controversial, but the NZ government didn't bother with digging dirt up.
This just goes to show the pathetic state of the Sri Lanka sports government currently. No wonder their current team is in such a bad state right now.
I explained about this in another thread, to be frank it is a great move by the cricket body to show the fake claims by their minister who tried to cast a shadow over their players and if there is an investigation the callousness in which a politician made these fake claims can be proved to the entire country and the world. This just goes to show the pathetic state of the Sri Lanka sports government currently. No wonder their current team is in such a bad state right now.
I am stunned to hear that Sri Lanka has actually ordered a probe into the 2011 World Cup final.

Thanks @everyone lol
Let's look at the schedule
Windies playing 3 tests against England with in 20 days window (8th July-28th July) then Windies players are free as their series against South Africa is postponed already. And Pakistan test schedule is not confirmed yet but according to their schedule they are playing 3 T-20 match series against England around 29th August. Big one month window (28th July - 29th August) So if ECB try to pull some string then they can manage Triangular T-20 series in this slot, they might want to cancel the T-20 series against Pakistan, controversial approach but we are living in interesting times and Triangular series seems more interesting to me in comparison of Bilateral. (More games + Revenue +easy to handle logistics in short period of time) After that England can play test series against Pakistan.
Random Thought
West Indies and Pakistan are already setting their camps in England for test series or some limited overs cricket. How about ECB use this opportunity in their favor and come up with the one Triangular T-20 series? Eng vs WI vs Pak .. That would be great initiative.
So what is stopping them doing a triangular series, they have not scheduled any series and it is possible to set up an international tournament in a short period of time as i think it is a long process to get approval from the authorities and the visa status should be changed if they are to compete for a triangular series after reaching the shores of England, if there is no other tournaments scheduled up i would like to see that happen and hopefully the cricket board could sort the visa issues.West Indies and Pakistan are already setting their camps in England for test series or some limited overs cricket.

Good idea indeed. Right now, all the cricket boards around the world are facing financial crunch. They need to conduct a few major tournaments as soon as possible. Else they may be forced to return money to the TV channels and the sponsors. And at this point, T20 tournaments suits the narrative. They are easier to manage, and the net revenue can be higher when compared to ODI or tests.

This is a great thought as it would be really fun as well to watch them playing against each other. T20 would be the real fun watching those WI players smashing the ball out of the park. And also, it would bring back smiles on our faces which we had being missing due to no matches in past 3 months. But can they setup it immediately or some prior permission might be required I guess so.
Yeah, they have all the time they need to conduct a small T20 tournament. All teams do not have any other games planned for the future as most tournaments have got cancelled. I do. It see any issue in conducting this tournament.

Excellent idea. This would be a lot more fun to watch when compared to watching the tests or ODI matches. However, I don't think they can change the schedule that easily unless all the boards cooperate.West Indies and Pakistan are already setting their camps in England for test series or some limited overs cricket.

I would especially love to watch the West Indian team play since it's the T-20 format. England are taking a big risk here by allowing foreigners into their country during these times and I hope it pays off.

Pakistan team has already reached England and till now there is no news of any additional infections. The entourage consists of 20 players and 11 non-playing staff. Even if any of them test positive later, I believe that PCB has taken enough precautions to avoid any community spread. All of them are using masks, and there is no physical contact with anyone outside the group.
It is a great news that Pakistan already reached England and hope everything goes smoothly as Cricket is the only sport to return after the pandemic while the rest of the major sports resumed and i really miss wagging a bet on some real games as i am wagging bets on T10 and eCricket all this while. I am sure they will be careful in avoiding outside contact but to be frank it is a really hard situation, just hoping for the best so that we would see other teams resuming the game.I never claimed that BCCI would collapse. I mentioned how corrupt they are which is why they won't just collapse out of the blue, but these constant issues have been hitting them hardly lately. Also, the COVID situation in India is getting worse every second.
May be, i am not following those and hence i cannot comment on the corruption, economy wise everyone is struggling not just India but the COVID situation will play a major role in resuming cricket in India as the situation is getting worse. Do you still think that VIVO sponsorship is a problem?
I do actually. This isn't a normal situation. The COVID situation has brought the economies of India and China down drastically which is why what seemed to be impossible before seems completely possible now.Are you claiming that BCCI has gone from the richest cricket body to loosing everything, what about the other cricket bodies during this period, there is no matches and everyone is suffering during this period and it is not a situation that is enforced on BCCI alone and with the sponsorship issue, they will get a thousand other sponsors if they loose one and hence it is not even a big deal.
I never claimed that BCCI would collapse. I mentioned how corrupt they are which is why they won't just collapse out of the blue, but these constant issues have been hitting them hardly lately. Also, the COVID situation in India is getting worse every second. This is even worse if you a allow a positive corona patient to travel all the way to Europe and then tested for covid19. If he is effected the virus, everyone in the plane will be at risk and they need to be tested too.
I think ICC should conduct some independent tests under the monitoring of international doctors and testing, so that the correct results are revealed.
