MUMBAI: With the BCCI expected to secure a one month’s extension to revert to the ICC on hosting the T20 World Cup in India, the focus has shifted to the modalities of such an eventuality.
What is clear is that IF the world governing body agrees to allow the BCCI to deliver the event “in-house”, what can definitively be ruled out is that the games will NOT be allotted to nine venues as was originally envisaged.
“The COVID-19 cases are reducing but obviously it is still not a situation where we can firmly commit to hosting the World T20,” a senior BCCI source told PTI.
Said source further told the newswire: “If BCCI manages to host the tournament in October-November which is currently a 50-50 probability, it could well mean single city three venues in Mumbai along with Pune and Ahmedabad as venue for the final.
“This curtails travel. But Pakistan team playing in Maharashtra and Gujarat also needs to be factored in.”
