UAE has hosted IPL-13
Last year the UAE successfully hosted the 13th season of the IPL. There are three major stadiums in the UAE. Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium (Abu Dhabi), Dubai International Cricket Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The distance of these three stadiums is not much between each other, in such a time, time is also saved for traveling and preparing bio-bubble is also easy.
T20 sought for World Cup and time
The BCCI has sought time from the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the T20 World Cup. In the meeting, the BCCI has decided that it will take some more time before taking a final decision on hosting the T20 World Cup.
Let us know that India has hosted T20 World Cup 2021. Although there is talk of getting it out of India due to the corona epidemic, but the BCCI is trying to have the T20 World Cup in India. The BCCI will not like to give up its hosting rights right now and will wait to see how the situation of Covid-19 in India is. The T20 World Cup to be held in India will be played in October-November. Its final has been scheduled on 14 November.
