The BCCI and ICC both have had their respective tournaments come to grinding halts due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Even though IPL 2020 and T20 World Cup, both are important events, negotiations are going on regarding which event ultimately moves forward and takes place.

The ICC is conducting a meeting today (10th June, 2020) to decide the future of T20 World Cup.
