Massive T20 World Cup Update: BCCI shortlists 3 venues to host the tournament

T20 World Cup Update: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gave some good news to cricket fans in India. A special team, led by BCCI president Saurav Ganguly, held a virtual Special General Meeting (SGM) on Saturday. After weeks of persistent rumours about the possible fate of the remainder of the IPL 2021 season, BCCI finally laid out the plans to organize the tournament, with the rest of the IPL season set to move to UAE during the September-October window. And as per an anonymous BCCI official, the board also discussed plans to organize the ICC T20 World Cup later this year.

T20 World Cup Update:

As per reports, the BCCI is adamant that it can hold a tournament as prestigious as T20 World Cup amidst a Covid-19 surge in India. BCCI is of the opinion that the marquee event can be successfully organized in three cities, namely Mumbai, Pune and Ahmedabad. Mumbai has three venues, while Pune and Ahmedabad also boast world-class stadium. If ICC agrees to BCCI terms and conditions, the final phase of the season, possibly the knockout phase and the final, will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

“It involves a lot of factors, but we have to have a plan. Ultimately, the ICC has to take a call,” as per one of BCCI officials.

“The ICC has already picked UAE as a back-up venue to host the T20 World Cup and if the showpiece tournament indeed happens there, it would be interesting to see how the ICC manages the grounds after conducting a packed IPL schedule.”
