T20 World Cup moved from India to UAE and Oman

NEW DELHI (Web Desk) – The upcoming Twenty20 World Cup has been moved from India to the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

According to the media reports, the mega event will begin on October 17 and the final will be played on November 14.

On June 1, the ICC granted BCCI until end of June to give its final word on whether India will be able to host the T20 World Cup. With the Covid-19 pandemic disrupting the global cricket calendar last year, the ICC postponed the 2020 World Cup, originally scheduled to be held in Australia, and decided India would host the tournament in 2021 with Australia hosting the 2022 edition.

However the grim pandemic situation in India, which was flattened by a second wave this summer, forced the BCCI to abruptly suspend the IPL at the halfway stage in May.
