The biggest event in cricket this year is the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup tournament was scheduled to begin in Australia from October but due to the Coronavirus global pandemic ICC planned to reconsider the possibility of hosting the tournament. Holding also said that BCCI has every right to move ahead with the plan to host the IPL even if T20 World Cup is called off this year.

The ICC board will meet on June 10 to decide on the certainty of hosting the T20 World Cup this year. BCCI have also not made any decision regarding this year’s IPL since it was postponed indefinitely two months ago.

With dark clouds looming over fans of the sport around the world are eagerly waiting for the decision of ICC on the fate of the T20 World Cup.
