MUMBAI, May 30: Sri Lankan batting great Kumar Sangakkara feels that one of the options is to cancel the T20 World Cup this year as many questions around the COVID-19 pandemic remain �unanswered�.
Sangakkara, who is the president of the prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), feels the situation needs to be monitored.
In its meeting on Thursday, the ICC deferred a decision on the fate of the showpiece in Australia till June 10, while continuing to explore contingency plans amid a ranging pandemic that has derailed calenders worldwide.
�Everyday, there are new learnings, new things being found out, so we will have to wait and see, but the options may be to cancel it this year, postpone it to another year, but to have in place anticipatory procedures that take into account health and safety of both the players and the spectators, and make sure that�s iron clad,� he said.
Sangakkara said there are many unanswered questions around the pandemic, which has brought sporting activity across the world to a grinding halt.
�The real thing is what�s going to happen with the virus. Is it going to disappear like SARS and MERS, or is this something that�s going to come back seasonally? � PTI
