So, today there was a conference call amongst BCCI office bearers. We met & looked at the COVID situation.” “Nobody is really sure what is going to happen after 2-3 months. Keeping all things in mind, a decision has been taken that BCCI will inform ICC to move it to UAE because that's ideal venue after India. We wanted to host it in India &our first priority was India,” BCCI VP added.He further added, “Dates are going to be same. Immediately after IPL it will start.
