T20 World Cup ‘unlikely’
Print Edition
Cricket Australia Chairman Earl Eddings described the staging of the Twenty20 World Cup this year as “unlikely” on the same day as he confirmed the head of the organizing committee for the 2020 tournament would be taking over as interim chief executive of the sport’s national governing body. Nick Hockley, chief executive of the Twenty20 World Cup, was appointed yesterday as Cricket Australia’s interim CEO after Kevin Roberts stood down with 18 months still to run on his contract. Roberts was the third chief executive of a major sport in Australia to be replaced during the coronavirus pandemic as organizations struggle with the financial fallout of the shuttering of leagues and border closures. Australia is scheduled to host the men’s T20 World Cup in October and November, but the prospects of the event going ahead in 2020 are diminishing. “I would say it is unlikely ... trying to get (teams from) 16 countries into Australia when most countries are still going through COVID spiking is unrealistic or very, very difficult,” Eddings said during a video conference.
