MELBOURNE: Organisers expect this year's Twenty20 World Cup to be a success even if it has to vie with Australian rules football and rugby league for viewers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the head of the organising committee said on Sunday.
"In the event they have extended seasons...we still think the World Cup is a really strong proposition that might not come here again for 10 or 20 years," Nick Hockley, CEO of the organising committee, told Australian Associated Press . The women's tournament proved a big success, with hosts Australia beating India in the March 8 final to defend their title.The governing International Cricket Council has maintained there is no change in its plans, and Hockley hoped they would not require any either.
