The meetings of the executive directors of the International Cricket Council (ICC) generally open the way for making important decisions about global cricket, not decisions. As expected, no major decision was reached at the ICC CEC committee meeting on Thursday, April 23 via video conference.
The coronavirus epidemic has raised doubts about the Twenty20 2020 World Cup in Australia in October-November and the Women’s ODI World Cup in New Zealand in February-March 2021. The outbreak of the Kovid-19 virus has halted all national and international cricket. since last March. Large numbers of people are still infected with the virus and lose their lives. The blockade continues in almost all countries in the fight against the virus. However, the decision of the CCA, the men’s T20 World Cup and the women’s ODI World Cup, the ICC will proceed in time. However, everyone agrees that regular updates on the Corona situation, once possible each month, will be used to discuss the situation surrounding the T20 World Cup. However, ESPN-Cricinfo has indicated that the decision on whether or not the T20 World Cup will take place will be made at least before the last week of June.
At the meeting, the representative of the Cricket Control Board in India (BCCI), Joy Shah Corona, proposed the cancellation of the World Test Championship, which was postponed due to a complete reversal of the cricket schedule. However, India’s proposal to top the points table in the Test Championship has led all members to agree that the entire Future Tour Program (FTP) by 2023 should be completely revised so that the schedule cricket canceled due to Kovid-19 virus may reorganize. The decision on the World Cup Super League proposed by the ICC in conjunction with the World Test Championship will also be made later.
“The risk remains high because the situation is changing very fast, because we still have a lot to learn about Covid-19,” Dr. Peter Harcourt, head of the ICC medical committee, said at the meeting. So it can be difficult to make a decision. “
Cricket Australia Chief Executive Kevin Roberts said his board had been working closely with the ICC, the organizing committee and the Australian government to ensure that the T20 World Cup was held on time. But whatever the situation in the future, Australia will accept it.
ICC Chief Executive Manu Soni joined the meeting with top executives from ICC’s 12 member countries and three associate member boards.
