Decision on the ICC T20 world cup likely to be today

Cricket | Monday | 20th July, 2020

The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board is scheduled to meet at 3.30 pm IST on Monday to discuss the future of the T20 World Cup.

According to media reports, the ICC had been mulling on taking a decision on the T20 World Cup’s future at its Full Council in mid-July. But the Full Council has been deferred indefinitely because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

A lot of Members boards, including the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) want clarity on the future of the ICC event so they can plan bilateral series.

The BCCI Apex Council took the decision to hold the Indian Premier League (IPL) in October-November, likely in the UAE, should the ICC postpone the T20 World Cup.

 Hosts Cricket Australia (CA) Chairman Earl Eddings has already spoken about staging the T20 World Cup in October-November being “unrealistic”.
