T20 World Cup can go ahead as scheduled if Australian government is ready: Sunil Gavaskar

Lgendary India batsman Sunil Gavaskar said the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 can be held in September-October if the T20 World Cup is postponed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Sunil Gavaskar, speaking at Salaam Cricket 2020, said even if the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secures a window for IPL 2020, it will not be ideal to host the tournament in India due to the possible monsoon during September and October.

Gavaskar said the BCCI can think about hosting IPL 2020 overseas in either Sri Lanka or the UAE, given the two cricket boards have offered to host the cash-rich T20 league.

Meanwhile, Gavskar also said a shortened tournament will be feasible, considering the restrictions and safety protocols in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
