BCCI to hold Special General Meeting virtually in view to decide on T20 World Cup venue

Sourav Ganguly-led Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will lock in a three-week window between September 15 and October 15 for the resumption of the Indian Premier League in the UAE, when it holds a Special General Meeting (SGM) virtually on Saturday.

The wider scope of the agenda permits the members to also discuss the ICC T20 World Cup and the much-delayed compensation package for domestic



cricketers for the cancelled last Ranji Trophy season.

The IPL is expected to restart between September 18 and 20 and end on October 10 with three venues in the UAE, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah hosting the matches.

BCCI also wants to host the T20 World Cup in India and during the June 1 ICC Board meet, it would ask the global body to wait on the Covid-19 situation here before any call is taken.
