The T20 World Cup will be happening at the end of the year. The teams will be focused on winning an international trophy. The original venue of the tournament was supposed to be India. However, with the nature of the pandemic and the way that things have been in recent times, the ICC has had its doubts over the possibility of conducting it at the initially decided location. Despite that, the official venue of the tournament has not been changed yet. Though the IPL 2021 competition was halted and moved out of India, the luxury of time was on the side of the BCCI. This has given them a window of hope, where things may work out in their favor.

The BCCI officials will be assessing the current Covid-19 situation. They will be working out the feasibility of hosting the tournament in India. The ICC has given a deadline of the 28th of June for this decision to be made on the T20 World Cup. The meeting will also be used to finalize the dates for IPL 2021 Phase 2 and an update on the decisions of the other international boards will be given as well.
