BCCI will assess the situation of Corona in India at the time sought regarding the hosting of T20 World Cup
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in its Special General Meeting (SGM) has decided to ask the ICC to ask for more time to host the T20 World Cup in October-November. It is at this time that the BCCI will assess the condition of the corona epidemic in India. BCCI president Saurabh Ganguly is understood to have informed the members at a special general meeting (SGM) on Saturday that the BCCI would seek another month from the ICC to take a proper decision on hosting the T20 World Cup and This time will be used to assess various factors that can determine whether India will be fit to host this big international tournament.
At the same time, it is expected that Ganguly will formally put this request in the ICC Board meeting on June 1. “The BCCI officials have been asked to ask the ICC to take more time to take an appropriate decision on hosting the T20 World Cup,” the BCCI said in a press release after the SGM.
A senior member of a state cricket association said that there is also a matter of tax exemption which is being talked about. He said, ICC wants tax exemption, but we have to follow the government guidelines. All sides will benefit from the T20 World Cup in India, but in May you cannot talk about the health conditions of October. We need some time.
