World T20 in doubt, IPL might happen later says Dominic Cork

The former England all-rounder feels it is unlikely though that the 2020 World Cup T20 will be held this year in Australia.

“It will be tough to get international teams into Australia, although both Australia and New Zealand have done really well to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic. I would love for it to go ahead because it’s a great spectacle but players’ safety has to be the priority and it’s best to push it back a year,” Dominic Cork advised.

However, in regards to the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Englishmen felt that it would be great for the cricket fans if the world’s best domestic T20 tournament can be organized.

“IPL has millions of fans all around the world and any possibility of organizing it this year will be appreciated. It will be strange for me to witness IPL games without crowds but it will benefit a few cricketing nations,” Dominic Cork added.

“The players will travel to the IPL if they believe it is safe and secure to do so and also because it is part of their jobs. There are still a few months left between now and proposed dates of the IPL in September-October and a lot might change by then. The BCCI and the Indian government have to take a call on how the tournament can be organized,” Dominic Cork said before signing off.
