The marquee T20 World Cup in october-november is set to be shifted to the UAE and Oman with the BCCI having internally intimated the ICC to go ahead with its preparations due to tricky Covid-19 situation in India.
“Yes, the BCCI, during the ICC board meeting , has formally asked for a four-week window to take a final call but, internally , they have said that they would like to keep the hosting rights and wouldn’t mind the tournament being held in UAE and Oman” a senior board official , privy to ICC board developments told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
“If you think about it practically , India is now reporting around 120,000plus cases which is close to one third of what was being reported at the end of the April and start of this month”.
While the UAE was always the first choice , Muscat and four other venues have been selected for the tournament that will start in the last week of october.
