The International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup, which was supposed to be played in India, has been shifted to United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman due to coronavirus situation.
According to ESPNcricinfo, the matches of tournament will now be played in UAE and Oman from October 17 with the final scheduled for November 14.
The T20 World Cup is all set to begin two days following the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL). IPL was postponed earlier owing to the Covid-19 situation in India and will resume in the UAE from September 19 and end with the final on October 15.
ESPNcricinfo reported that Board of Control for Cricket in India is yet to write to the International Cricket Council on shifting the marquee T20 event.
The Super 12s phase, semi-finals and the final will then be played in the three venues in UAE — Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Despite the pandemic numbers declining since the alarming peak of April-May period, public health experts have predicted India will witness a third wave later in 2021.
