Earlier this month, almost all cricket-playing countries called off their international and domestic fixtures in the light of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League was suspended until April 15, but the announcement of a nationwide 21-day lockdown by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the cancellation of the tournament looks inevitable. The BCCI has also postponed all domestic cricket tournaments for an indefinite period.
The Pakistan Cricket Board cancelled the Pakistan Super League just before the knockout stages, while Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, South Africa and West Indies, also had to adjust their fixtures amid the Covid-19 scares. Reportedly, the World Test Championship final which was scheduled to be hosted in England next year could also be rescheduled or even cancelled.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee stated that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics has been postponed after Canada and a few other countries decided to pull out of the Games which was supposed to commence from July 24.
