The upcoming T20 World Cup will include 16 teams. The main event was originally scheduled to take place in India, but there have been discussions of moving it to the United Arab Emirates. The BCCI is yet to send a formal letter to the ICC, according to a report.

After the board meeting, the ICC confirmed that the BCCI would keep the T20 World Cup hosting rights even if the tournament was moved out of India. The ICC Board had also asked management to concentrate its planning efforts for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 on the UAE, with the possibility of adding another Middle Eastern venue.

The ICC said in an official release, “a final decision on the host country will be taken later this month. The Board also confirmed that the BCCI will remain the hosts of the event regardless of where the event is played”.
