Icc T 20 World Cup 2020 News

The schedule for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 was announced on Friday, January 21 and India will face Pakistan in their tournament opener on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). India had lost to Pakistan by 10 wickets when both teams clashed in the T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai.

After ICC’s postponement of the T20 World Cup, reports suggest that BCCI and CA are set to discuss the possibility of ‘swapping’ T20 World Cups between them during the next ICC Board Meet. There also stands a good chance that the Women’s 50-over tournament will go ahead as per schedule.

Sourav Ganguly has said the T20 World Cup means as much to the ICC as the IPL to the BCCI and thus the governing council is trying its best to host the mega event this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic. An official decision on the fate of the T20 World Cup, to be held in Australia, is yet to be taken.

Calling it ‘simply speculation’, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has completely denied the reports that had claimed that the board had offered to conduct the IPL in New Zealand. Before New Zealand’s name popped up, UAE and Sri Lanka were the two countries in contention to host the mega event.
