T20 World Cup might get postponed: Aaron Finch

Aaron Finch was the first player Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) picked up at the 2020 Indian Premier League Auction.

Owing to the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Government of Australia has imposed a travel ban until 30th September. Australian limited-overs skipper, Aaron Finch feels that the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup might get postponed.

“I think we might have to get our heads around a T20 World Cup that might be postponed for a month, two months, three months, whatever it has to be," Finch told SEN Radio.

Finch also said that even if the tournament is held after the delay , they could be held behind closed doors, which would not be a concern.

"But as long as we can get live sport up and running. Whether that's with crowds or not, I don't think that makes any difference to the players.

In March, the three-match ODI series between Australia and New Zealand was to be played behind closed doors. Since the situation began to worsen, only one of the three matches was played.

"We played one ODI against New Zealand with no crowd (and it) was really strange for the first four or five overs, but then you got into your work," he added.

"I think we might have to get a little bit creative with how we do that (as part of a new-look schedule). Whether that's setting up and playing two Test matches in one hub or something like that," he said.

This past week, the International Cricket Council (ICC) have held a few meetings where there was a mutual agreement relating to the cricketing events that were supposed to take place in the coming months. The ICC is currently in the process of preparing contingencies for all global cricketing events.
