After BCCI has announced that IPL 2030 has been put off indefinitely following corona outbreak, all eyes are now on T20 World Cup.
It is scheduled to be played from 15 October to 15 November in Australia. And, interestingly, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison warned on Friday that restrictions on people’s movement could continue for another year in the country.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) sought to play down speculation over a possible postponement of the 2020 T20 World Cup while maintaining that it is exploring all options.
“We are continuing with our planning for ICC events as they are, but given the rapidly evolving situation as a prudent and responsible measure we are also undertaking a comprehensive contingency planning exercise,” an ICC spokesperson said.
The coronavirus pandemic has led to a freeze on the cricket calendar, as is the case with all sports. All other sporting activities including Tokyo Olympics 2020 postponed. It is a major setback for atheletes preparing for the event for long. Also sport- lovers are left disappointed. Let’s see what happens in coming days. Hope corona outbreak ends and everything is back to normal soon.
