The International Cricket Council (ICC) is likely to discuss the fate of the T20 World Cup 2020 to be held in Australia in its next board meeting. Cricket's top body has yet to decide the date of the next board meeting. However, ICC sources told that the meeting could take place over the next week or so but there is no confirmed date for the board meeting.
ICC sources said, "No date has been set yet, but it will be held in the next week, but the date has not been confirmed." When asked about the agenda such as the decision on the T20 World Cup and the election in the ICC, the source said, "No details have been released so far, but there is a possibility that the T20 World Cup will be discussed." The T20 World Cup 2020 is to be played in Australia from 18 October to 15 November.
Earlier in the month, ICC President Shashank Manohar resigned from his post after a two-year term. In his place, Imran Khawaja has become the interim chairman of the ICC. It is believed that Khawaja has to decide the future of the T20 World Cup. The future of this year's IPL also depends on the future of the T20 World Cup.
Let us tell you that the coronavirus epidemic has greatly affected the cricket calendar. The IPL has been postponed indefinitely by the BCCI, while the Asia Cup to be held this year has also been canceled. Reports also suggest that the BCCI may postpone the T20 series between India and Australia to be held in October, as the series will have no significance if the T20 World Cup is postponed.
