However, it is believed that very soon the final decision regarding the World Cup will be taken. Earlier, when the ICC meeting was held on June 1, then the BCCI had asked for a month’s time, whose deadline is ending this month. The T20 World Cup was to be held in India itself, but due to Corona virus, it is not possible. Right now, the cases of corona virus in India have been less than before, but in the meantime a third wave is also being feared. In such a situation, BCCI does not want to take any risk.
