The venue of the T20 World Cup has been changed due to the growing cases of Covid-19 in India. The BCCI was forced to push the tournament outside India, considering the safety of the players and the staff involved. It was moved to the UAE and Oman quite recently. With that being said, though the venue of the tournament was changed, the BCCI is still in charge of hosting it. They will still be liable for the tournament and its conduction, even though the venue is not in India. In short, the tournament will be hosted in the Middle East on behalf of the BCCI. Keeping that in mind, the Board Of Control For Cricket In India had to make arrangements for the T20 World Cup.
