BCCI set to discuss upcoming season, scheduling issues on May 29
In a bid to chart out contingency plans for the T20 World Cup and the Indian Premier League, the BCCI has convened a Special General Meeting (SGM) of its affiliates on May 29. The single-point agenda of the virtual meeting, as per the notice circulated among Board members on Tuesday night, is a “discussion on the upcoming cricket season in view of the pandemic situation”. India is scheduled to stage the T20 World Cup in October-November. But after the forced postponement of the IPL because of breaches in the biosecure bubbles amid a surge in cases in the country, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is likely to push the BCCI to move the tournament to the United Arab Emirates, already shortlisted as a back-up venue.
