The men’s Twenty20 World Cup has been moved from India to the United Arab Emirates and Oman because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 16-team tournament will still take place from October 17 to November 14.
The International Cricket Council ICC gave India a deadline of Monday to say whether it could still host the tournament amid a rise in Covid cases.
ICC chief executive Geoff Allardice said the move brings “certainty” that the tournament can be held safely.
