BCCI to host T20 WC in UAE, Oman
The HinduThe Board of Control for Cricket in India is set to formally inform the International Cricket Council about its willingness to host the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates and Oman from October 17 to November 14. It means that the T20 World Cup qualifiers will begin barely 48 hours after the Indian Premier League final, scheduled at the Dubai International Stadium on October 15. Considering the limited window available to stage the IPL and the T20 World Cup in UAE, it is learnt that the T20 World Cup qualifiers will coincide with the warm-up ties for the main draw. With the IPL set to resume in UAE on September 19, the BCCI has managed to convince Cricket West Indies to advance the Caribbean Premier League final from September 19 to September 15.
