The meeting of the BCCI Apex Council is scheduled to be held on Friday. There will be a discussion on the Future Tour Program (FTP), National Cricket Academy (NCA) and domestic cricket. Apart from this, issues like holding of IPL 2020, T20 World Cup, tax-related issues, Bihar cricket, recruitment of staff in the board and promotion of digital service in BCCI and IPL will be discussed. A BCCI source said, "Many series have been canceled. Domestic cricket has to be started as well, so it is very important to discuss FTP. "
The IPL 2020 was to be held from March 29 this year, but due to Corona, the BCCI has already postponed it indefinitely. The BCCI is now exploring the October-November window in case the T20 World Cup is postponed. This issue is important in the meeting. The World Cup is to be held in Australia from October 18 to November 15. But it is likely to be postponed.
A senior BCCI official said, "We are exploring all options to hold IPL. Our priority will be to organize tournaments in India, but you know the circumstances here. The UAE and Sri Lanka have also shown interest in hosting the IPL, but having a tournament abroad will increase the expenses considerably. At the moment, we are not in a position to decide, but we have to plan on it that if the T20 World Cup does not happen, then we can take action immediately. "
Salman Hanif, head of Cricket and Tournaments, Dubai City, said in an interview, "Dubai Sports City is all set for the IPL." The city consists of Dubai International Stadium and the ICC Academy. If more matches are held in a short period of time, then the stadium has 9 wickets in very good condition. We will not allow other matches to be held here to keep the wickets fresh. "
