by
Men’s T20 World Cup In UAE

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has finally confirmed that the Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 will be played in the UAE and Oman.

India can’t host the Men’s T20 World Cup amid the ongoing COVID-19 situation but will remain to be hosts. The ICC Worldcup 2021 will now be held in Dubai International Stadium, the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the Sharjah Stadium, and the Oman Cricket Academy Ground, from 17 October to 14 November 2021.

The first round of the tournament, comprising the eight qualifying teams, will now be split between Oman and UAE. Four of these teams will then progress to the Super 12s round where they’ll join the eight automatic qualifiers.

The upcoming edition will be the first Men’s T20 World Cup played since 2016 when West Indies beat England in the final in India.

The eight teams competing in the preliminary stage are Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland, Namibia, Oman and Papua New Guinea, before the play-off stage and the Final on 14 November.

“Our priority is to deliver the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 safely, in full and in its current window,” said acting ICC CEO Geoff Allardice.

“Whilst we are incredibly disappointed not to be hosting the event in India, the decision gives us the certainty we need to stage the event in a country that is a proven international host of multi-team events in a bio-secure environment.

Allardice added, “We will work closely with the BCCI, the Emirates Cricket Board and Oman Cricket to ensure fans can enjoy a wonderful celebration of cricket.”

BCCI President Sourav Ganguly

“The BCCI is looking forward to hosting the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 tournament in UAE and Oman,” added BCCI President.

“We would have been happier hosting it in India but considering the uncertainty due to the Covid 19 situation and the importance of a world championship, the BCCI will now continue to host this tournament in UAE and Oman. The BCCI is looking forward to creating a spectacle,” he added.

“We’re moving the tournament to UAE and we will inform the ICC this evening,” Shah said.

“The BCCI is also open to having the first round of the World Cup matches in Oman, something this website had previously written,” he added.

“The schedule will be done later. We have not decided on the schedule completely. We will inform you soon,” the BCCI secretary said.

Owing to the safety health protocols amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly said: “We have officially intimated the ICC that the T20 World Cup can be shifted to the United Arab Emirates. The details are being chalked out.”

On the other hand, the ICC has previously confirmed that the BCCI will remain the hosts of the tournament.

Earlier, the BCCI had suspended the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 due to rising Coronavirus cases among the players as well.

“The Indian Premier League Governing Council (IPL GC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in an emergency meeting has decided to postpone IPL 2021 season, with immediate effect,” BCCI said in a release.

“The BCCI does not want to compromise on the safety of the players, support staff and the other participants involved in organising the IPL. This decision was taken keeping the safety, health and well-being of all the stakeholders in mind.”

India: “Covid-19 wave

In India, the centre warned that the covid-19 next wave will strikes again soon if the citizens become complacent as they did during the last months.

An Indian doctor said that India needs to buy more time to ensure high vaccination coverage and cannot afford to lower its guard against the virus.

“We are back to wearing masks more diligently. Testing is happening generously. We have also imposed restrictions in many districts.” Doctor told the reporter

“When we will reverse this process, the situation can again become unacceptable” he added

“When the peak is declining and we suddenly get into same behaviour as a society, as we did in January and February, it (the virus) can come back again in a certain way,” he said

“However, if we ease restrictions gradually … adjust our behaviour … the next wave won’t be that bad or may not even strike at all,” he said.

Separately, Dr Paul pointed out that about 43 per cent of the population aged above 60 has been vaccinated, while 37 per cent of people above 45 years has been inoculated so far.
