Who will choose from the IPL and T20 World Cup? Smith gave this answer



Kangaroo team's batsman Steve Smith says that if the T20 World Cup, to be held in October-November, is postponed, then he is ready to play IPL. Let us know that due to the Kovid-19 epidemic, the T20 World Cup in Australia is clouded by the crisis.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) wants to organize the IPL in September-October, which has been postponed due to Corona. Rajasthan Royals captain Steve Smith said that he is ready to come to India to play IPL after getting permission from Australian Government.

Former Australia captain Steve Smith said, "There is nothing better for the country than playing the World Cup." Definitely I would prefer the World Cup, but if it is postponed and the IPL is organized then I am ready to play in this T20 league. '

Steve Smith said, "Things are out of our control right now." We are doing what we are being told. 'There were reports that Cricket Australia has asked the ICC to postpone the T20 World Cup by 2021. A decision in this regard will be taken at the ICC meeting on 10 June.

Smith said, 'I haven't thought about it. We will follow the advice of professionals and the government. At this time, cricket has become irrelevant to the circumstances of the world. We will return when the time is right and we will be asked. Till then there is a need to remain physically and mentally strong. '

Conflict with Dhoni in the final of World Cup 2011, Sangakkara revealed after nine years








In 1983, under the leadership of Kapil Dev, the Indian team won its first World cup 2011, 28 years later, Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the 2011 World Cup to India, ending the drought of victory. In the final played on Indian soil, Dhoni bat came out victorious six. Now 9 years after that historic moment, opposition captain Kumar Sangakkara has made a big disclosure.








In the final, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first. Kumar Sangakkara, who captained the Sri Lankan team, was asked on Instagram by Indian cricketer Ravi Ashwin about the confusion created during the toss in the final.

Sangakkara said, "A large number of spectators had arrived for the match. This never happened in Sri Lanka. There was once in Eden Gardens when I could not even speak with the fielder of the first slip and then at Wankhede. I remember I asked for the toss and after that Mahi (Dhoni) was not sure and asked if you said 'Tail' and I said no I said 'Head'. '

"The match referee actually said that I had won the toss, but Mahi said that it is not so," said Sanga. There was a bit of confusion and Mahi said that the toss was done again and the 'head' came again. I can't say that it was luck that I won the toss. I think if India had won the toss, it could have batted first.

Kumar Sangakkara also believes that Angelo Mathews' exit due to injury in the 2011 World Cup final against India cost him dearly. Host India then won the title after 28 years. Mathews, who played a key role in the thrilling semi-final against New Zealand, was forced out of the final played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai due to a muscle strain.

Regarding the six-wicket defeat at the hands of India, the former Sri Lankan captain said that due to Mathews' injury he had to adopt a 6-5 combination and that was why he had to decide to bat first after winning the toss. Mahela Jayawardene's unbeaten 103 also did not work and India won the title with the help of Gautam Gambhir's 97 and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's unbeaten 91 runs.

Sangakkara said, 'If Angelo Mathews were fit, we would have liked to chase. I cannot say for sure that this would have changed the result. The balance that Mathews gave us when he came down to bat at number seven was really like a bonus.

He said, 'If you look at our whole campaign, then Mathews' ability to bat according to circumstances with the over and tail batsmen was a bonus for us. He was a young player then and understood the situation from the beginning and played. He knew how to control the bowlers and when to score fast runs.

ICC postpone decision on T20 World Cup, know how long you have to wait



The International Cricket Council (ICC) board on Thursday deferred the decision on all matters on its agenda, including the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia by 10 June. The World Cup was scheduled to be held from 18 October to 15 November but there is speculation that it will be postponed due to the Kovid-19 epidemic and this window is currently being used to host the postponed Indian Premier League.


The ICC said after the board's teleconference that the board urged the ICC management to continue to discuss various emergency options with stakeholders in view of the constantly changing public health situation due to the Kovid-19 epidemic.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has also tweeted on this decision of ICC. He said that the ICC's decision on the T20 World Cup has been postponed to 10 June. What will happen if it changes.

Earlier there was speculation that the ICC T20 will give an official decision to postpone the world in this meeting. Apart from this, there were also speculations that in the postponement of the T20 World Cup, in October, the BCCI will use the empty window as the IPL event.

ICC Board Meeting / Decision on postponement of T20 World Cup to be held in Australia this year, 3 options may be discussed; The path of IPL will be clear




The board tele-conferencing meeting of the International Cricket Council (ICC) will take place today. A decision can be taken whether to postpone this year's T20 World Cup due to Corona. The tournament is to be held in Australia from 18 October to 15 November.


If the World Cup ends then there is every possibility of Indian Premier League (IPL) in this empty window of October-November. The IPL was to be held from March 29, which was postponed indefinitely due to Corona.


Australia wants World Cup next year


According to sources, Cricket Australia (CA) wants to host the World Cup next year. For this he also wrote a letter to the ICC. However, BCCI will have to persuade for this, as the 2021 T20 World Cup is to be held in India.


Once in 2018, T20 World Cup in Australia is postponed



The T20 World Cup, which began in 2007, is held every 2 years. But it was made frequent in 2009 and 2010 due to a clash of other tournaments. While the 2018 T20 World Cup in Australia was postponed to 2020 due to the 2017 Champions Trophy. However, T20 World Cup is to be held in India in 2021. The ICC decides all these schedules according to its Future Tour Program (FTP).

These three options can be discussed in the meeting.


If sources are to be believed, several options can be discussed for holding the World Cup in the ICC meeting. The head of the ICC's event committee, Chris Tetley, said that the best of these options is that the tournament be held in 2022.

.The first option is to have the World Cup between January and March in 2021, but then IPL will also be held in March-April. Also, England is to visit India in January-March. Where important and big series of 5 Tests will be played. In such a situation, it will be very difficult to have a World Cup.

.The T20 World Cup is to be held in India in October next year. In such a situation, the second option is to host Australia for the 2021 tournament. While India can get the World Cup in 2022. However, it will be difficult to convince the BCCI on this decision.
.The third option is that Australia can hold the World Cup in 2022. Many players and cricket boards will also be ready for this. Provided there are no ICC events during that time.

ICC refuses to postpone World Cup

The ICC spokesman said, "The ICC has not taken any decision yet on postponing the T20 World Cup." All preparations are going on in Australia according to the schedule regarding the tournament. This topic will be an agenda at the ICC Board meeting and a firm decision will be taken on it. ”

It is very difficult to make 15 teams tournament between Corona: Australia

Recently Cricket Australia (CA) chief Kevin Roberts said that it would be very difficult to bring 15 teams between Corona to Australia and hold the tournament. He said, "Nothing can be said clear about it right now." But things are slowly improving. You do not know what may be possible in the future and what is not. The ICC has to decide completely about the tournament. "

IPL schedule can now be 37 days


This time the IPL was to be 44 days instead of 50 days. All 8 teams have to play 14–14 matches in 9 cities. Apart from these, there were 2 semi-finals, 1 knockout and a final in Wankhede on 24 May, but the BCCI can now shorten the format to 37 days as in 2009. The IPL was played in South Africa due to the 2009 Lok Sabha elections. It was over within five weeks and two days.

October-November the right window for IPL

India's busy schedule has also been a major hurdle for the IPL. This year, only the October-November window is the best for the IPL in terms of schedule. Because during this time there is no series other than T20 World Cup. India have to play 3 T20s in Australia before the tournament in October. After the World Cup, there is a 4 Test and 3 ODI series in Australia in November-December.

Just 4 days left in ICC meeting, T20 World Cup expected to happen, new window opened for IPL

No such information has come before the meeting so that it can be said that this year will be the ICC T20 World Cup. In such a situation, it is learned that if the T20 World Cup is canceled, then the IPL will get a new window.




There is just 4 days left for the ICC meeting in which it will be decided whether the T20 World Cup to be held in Australia from October - November this year. It has also been learned from several sources that the Australian Cricket Board is not in favor of this year's T20 World Cup. At the same time, former Australian captain Mark Taylor also feels that the T20 World Cup is very difficult to organize in the midst of the Corona crisis.


Why is this impossible for cricket Australia?


Until 13 September, travel is banned in Australia due to Corona. In such a situation, all the teams will have to reach there in the first week of October. 30 members comprising 16 teams from each team, in which players, support staff will be involved in this journey, due to which this tour can prove extremely difficult for any team. If the players play the match without an audience, then journalists, commentators and other people associated with the tournament will have to reach here. It will be very difficult for Australia to handle 15 foreign teams in 7 cities and organize 45 matches.

Who will win and who will lose?


If the T20 tournament does not take place this year, the ICC will suffer a significant loss. In such a situation, the BCCI will get a free window to organize the IPL. Although there is no such statement from Australia, whether they will send their players to India for IPL or not, but most Australian players have already said that they will play IPL.


At the same time, Cricket Australia CEO Kevin Roberts said a few days ago that the chances of a series between India and Australia later this year are very high and if this happens then Cricket Australia gets a lot of revenue of telecast rights. will get.



T20 World Cup will not happen this year, so what are the chances?


   There will be three opportunities for fans here


1. England's team is going to visit India in February, in such a situation, a chance can be made here which seems quite difficult.


2. October - November 2021- T20 World Cup is already going to be held here in India. In such a situation, if BCCI wants to, then it can give this window to Australia by not organizing this tournament this year and then BCCI can do so in 2022.


3. Australia can organize this tournament in 2022, which looks more likely.
