WATCH REPORT: ICC Set To Postpone World T20, Announcement Likely To Be Made Tomorrow
Cricket Australia, the national cricket board of Australia, which also serves as the organising committee has almost resigned on the prospect of hosting the premier event, scheduled to take place in Oct-Nov later this year. With the postponement of the World Cup almost a certainty, the options of hosting for the event could either be in 2021 or 2022.
With Australia's international borders closed till mid-September, incoming passengers requiring to undergo two-week quarantine and plenty more logistical issues facing ICC and Cricket Australia, the situation is not in favour of a 16-team tournament.
To explore the possibility of hosting the World T20 in 2021, Cricket Australia can only hope that the BCCI gives them an opportunity as it is originally slated to be held in India for that year.
