^^^^ I agree with the Hyderabad part. The outbreak there is under control, and new cases are being reported only from containment zones. But then, there is a risk factor. A lot of people from that city works in GCC nations such as Saudi Arabia. Expats are being brought back to their hometowns, and large number of cases are being reported from this group.
Staging the T20 World Cup in Australia may also involve similar risks. But I guess the risk can be brought under control, if they take strict precautions and play the matches with no crowd.

ICC seriously needs to re-start the cricket ASAP. It should be doing it in steps:
1. Get it started with empty stadiums.
2. In the next few months, start keeping little crowd, like 10k people in 25k capacity.
3. Keep improving the number of people in stadiums till the end of COVID19.
This is only viable in countries like Australia and NZ where the COVID cases are relatively on the lower side. This is an impossible scenario in places like India etc where the cases are soaring with every passing day. The crowds would protest against the BCCI for focusing on profits instead of saving lives.1. Get it started with empty stadiums.
2. In the next few months, start keeping little crowd, like 10k people in 25k capacity.
3. Keep improving the number of people in stadiums till the end of COVID19.
If there is an option for me i would rather want to see the T20 World Cup than the IPL and as you said, Goa and Kerala does not have multiple international stadiums, but they have stadiums 
.
Hyderabad is a better option in comparison even though the cases there are a bit higher. However, this is still a bad time to consider hosting the IPL or the T-20 World Cup in my opinion. . 
Furthermore it’s an open secret that BCCI is doing all they can to postpone the T20 World Cup, and in it’s place schedule the IPL and they may even succeed if conditions suddenly improve in India and at the same time number of cases rise in Australia.
Out of curiosity, What exactly BCCI doing in terms of postponing the T-20 World cup? Care to explain..
The articles which you have shared shows nothing like that and its already been shared here.
All BCCI doing is planning to turn lemon into lemonade, if any opportunity comes.. is it wrong?
Hyderabad is not completely free from the pandemic, but it seems to be one of the better options right now. Tier 3 cities such as Goa and Trivandrum lack multiple stadiums, where dozens of matches can be played on a continuous basis. However, from the article posted by Huanebu, it looks as if BCCI wants the ICC to cancel the T20 World Cup. So what is the conclusion? Both these tournaments can't go ahead this year? Zero chance?

. The World Cup was scheduled in Australia and the virus situation is under control and considering that if the countries that are participating in the world cup can take measures by testing the players then the problem can be sorted out considering England is planning to resume cricket, it is a realistic possibility that T20 can be conducted without audience.
@eaLity if it comes down to a vote I hope that all the countries will vote for scheduling the T20 World Cup, instead of opting to send their players to play in IPL. Furthermore it’s an open secret that BCCI is doing all they can to postpone the T20 World Cup, and in it’s place schedule the IPL and they may even succeed if conditions suddenly improve in India and at the same time number of cases rise in Australia.

I think empty stadium is a good idea till a cure comes out. Why take a risk?
Crowd will never follow social distancing, whatever kind of rules you lay in people will get excited and forget those rules. They should organise these matches without any crowds.
Came across another article discussing how it is still possible to host the IPL season this year.

At present, it seems like the Indian government is easing restrictions during the lockdown period even though the cases are soaring. I think BCCI may try to host the tournament in a city where the cases stay low(Hyderabad etc).
Who knows if they go with the empty stadium?https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.timesofindia.com/sports/cricket/ipl/top-stories/ipl-possible-after-rains-bcci-ceo-rahul-johri/amp_articleshow/75858397.cms

Kinda funny statement from the BCCI CEO Rahul Johri " More people watched the IPL last year than those who voted for general election"
So what is the conclusion? Both these tournaments can't go ahead this year? Zero chance?
Window is small so yeah its safe to say "zero chance" unless BCCI goes cuckoo and gives green signal to IPL with in next 2-3 monthsThe way i am looking at this whole situation, CA too leaning onto IPL.

When compared to places like Mumbai, Chennai etc, Hyderabad is in a much better state as you mentioned which is why it is a great option. BCCI don't want ICC to cancel the T-20 World Cup, but postpone it to next year for financial reasons obviously.In my opinion, I don't think either of these tournaments will be held this year and both BCCI and the ICC should be prepared to face short term losses since the cases in India seem to be rising dramatically and don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

I just like to watch good matches whether it is IPL or world cup as i do not have a patriotic outlook as my country is not playing cricket.
But i did not understand why IPL will be a refresher for ICC and other boards, do they get any payment
?.
Cricket economy is bit tricky, if i have to put it simply then would say India is biggest cashcow and every cricket board want to get into bed with the BCCI. IPL is literally a lifeline for many players and more profitable than the T-20 WC. I just like to watch good matches whether it is IPL or world cup as i do not have a patriotic outlook as my country is not playing cricket
.But i did not understand why IPL will be a refresher for ICC and other boards, do they get any payment
?.This article sheds some light with the different scenario, its coming from the BCCI perspective so you can make your own judgement.

India vs England series is already schedule next year so every thing should be okay between them. Every board or ICC doing their calculations but Covid-19 playing ping pong with the everyone.
So all three have their cash cow tournaments assigned India vs England series is already schedule next year so every thing should be okay between them. Every board or ICC doing their calculations but Covid-19 playing ping pong with the everyone.
. The virus situation is a bit tricky but they can carry on with the tournament, they will be faced some losses especially the gate money but their major revenue is television deals and as long as they can provide the contents then they will be getting the money.It doe not matter anymore, In my opinion any cricket tournament will be a welcomed by cricket lovers. I prefer WC over IPL but in crisis situation like this where global economy is on the verge of collapsing I guess IPL will be a refresher for ICC, BCCI, cricket players and other boards.

In terms of revenue, IPL is more beneficial for everyone. Also, the logistics involved with the T20 World Cup can me much more complicated, as it involve 16 teams from all around the world. On the other hand, the IPL can move forward with just 8 teams, all from India. With international flights not opetating, ferrying these teams to Australia is going to be a herculean task.
It seems to me that everyone building a follow up story if IPL takes place instead of WC T-20. Mark Taylor gave couple of reasons and the way he puts out it sounds logical.
TLDR : Money and revenue matters..
T20 World Cup postponement could pave the way for IPL: Mark Taylor

Well in this case just for IPL to happen the World Cup May get postponed and their may be some objections raised by some of the boards I think considering which is the bigger of the two . One is run by BCCI and other by ICC . Hopefully their are no major retaliation and fans are able to see the cricket whichever it may be .
I guess CA and BCCI are on same page and their interest aligns with eachothers.
- If T-20 WC gets cancels then BCCI is winner, in case IPL takes place in OCT-NOV. BCCI might earn heavy amount approx $400-$500 Millions from the IPL in comparison of $80 Millions from the T-20 WC.
- In return BCCI will play Bilateral series with the CA which is schedule in Dec this year. Winner is CA
Rest of the cricketing nations should raise their voice if that happens.

I don't think that the "Rest of the cricketing nations" can do much about it. Dozens of overseas players appear in the IPL. The best players from all the countries (with the exception of Pakistan) participate in the tournament, and for them the IPL is the major revenue source (in most cases IPL salaries account for 80% or more of their annual revenues). But still, I want the BCCI to make a deal, such as allowing a major ICC tournament sometime in 2021 (in addition to the T20 World Cup).

I am still expecting the ICC to carry on with the T20 world cup even though it will be pushed next year, since ECB, CA and BCCI controls everything i am eager to see the position of ECB in this situation, if they voice their concerns regarding this do you think that they will sort the issue by having another bilateral series with England and sort the issue I guess CA and BCCI are on same page and their interest aligns with eachothers.
