Cricket-India optimistic as COVID threatens T20 World Cup double whammy

NEW DELHI: India's cricket board is hoping it might be able to squeeze the remainder of its lucrative Indian Premier League into a crowded calendar and is still confident of hosting the T20 World Cup later this year, a top official told Reuters on Thursday.

"In that case, I think the hit on revenues will be marginal as the sponsorship deals and ad campaigns will have a chance to be completed," Shanth told Reuters. "We will keep monitoring the situation but as of now we are going ahead as per our original plan," he said. "I don't know whether we can afford to have superspreader events in the winter or before winter," he told Reuters by telephone from Bengaluru.Even if it went ahead, he said, the tournament would have to be played behind closed doors, as the IPL was in its last two seasons.
