ICC T20 World Cup can be moved to Feb to accommodate IPL: RCB coach Katich



Former Australian batsman and current Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) coach Simon Katich believes that the ICC T20 World Cup can be postponed and the Indian Premier League (IPL 2020) can be fitted into the cricketing calendar that has gone for a toss due to the Covid-19 or coronavirus outbreak.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday suspended the IPL 2020 "till further notice" in the wake of the fast-spreading Covid-19 pandemic.
"Potentially there's a chance to host it later in the summer, like the (recent) Women's T20 World Cup (which was held in February), and whether that's an opportunity to re-jig things. It'll be interesting to hear those discussions (which are) probably taking place at the moment and whether that's logistically possible with the FTP the way it is," Katich told Australian radio station Sen.
The IPL took place in South Africa in 2009 owing to the general elections in India at the same time and due to the same reason, a part of the tournament was held in the UAE in 2014.
