REUTERS: The International Cricket Council does not yet see the need to activate its backup plan for the Twenty20 World Cup and is sticking to hosting the event in India later this year despite the country experiencing a record COVID-19 surge recently.
"We are certainly proceeding on the assumption that the event is going ahead as planned," Allardice told reporters on Wednesday, adding that the ICC was learning from all ongoing cricket events across the globe. The eight-team Indian Premier League will kick off on Friday without fans and the country's board has set up bio-secure bubbles for the participants."In terms of our plans, I think they're reasonably well advanced and we've seen a number of different approaches across the cricketing countries as to how to manage multi-team events," said Allardice.
Allardice said the ICC firmly backed players to get vaccinated whenever possible but does not have the remit to get involved with the distribution of the shots mandated by individual nations.
