IPL 2021 suspension may force T20 World Cup shift
The Hindu
With teams reluctant to travel to India, the event could be moved to UAE
The BCCI’s decision to suspend the IPL midway through the edition could lead to the T20 World Cup being moved out of the country later this year. India has been awarded the 16-team marquee event, scheduled to be played in October-November. But tournament director Dhiraj Malhotra had recently confirmed that the United Arab Emirates was a back-up venue for the tournament. The IPL’s suspension will be a major roadblock in convincing the International Cricket Council (ICC) and participating cricket associations about the case for staging the event in India. Indeed, a BCCI official conceded that “it will be a miracle” if they agree to travel.
