Postponement of T20 World Cup opens door for IPL 2020?
The ICC on Monday announced that T20 World Cup 2020 has been postponed. The T20 World Cup was scheduled to be played in Australia in October-November. The prime beneficiary of the postponement of the T20 World Cup will be the IPL.
The rich-cash Indian Premier League was itself indefinitely postponed in May because of the impact of coronavirus pandemic in India.
The tournament is now likely to be held in the UAE, with a tentative window from September 26 to November 7. The BCCI was waiting for a public announcement from the ICC about the T20 World Cup and now that the path is clear, BCCI may look to confirm the arrangements.
