The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has called for an emergency Special General Meeting (SGM) to hold a discussion on the ‘upcoming cricket season’ amid ‘pandemic situation’ in India, Cricbuzz reported.
The SGM will be held in a virtual mode on May 29, the report added quoting a message from the board secretary Jay Shah to the state associations sent late on May 18.
"Notice is hereby given for the Special General Meeting (SGM) of the BCCI which will be held on May 29, 2021, virtually, to transact the following business: 'Discussion on the upcoming cricket season in view of the pandemic situation prevailing in India. You are requested to attend the meeting. Link to the meeting will be shared in due course.,” Cricbuzz quoted Jay Shah’s message to the state associations.
The ICC World T20 scheduled to be hosted by the BCCI in India is likely to be the dominating agenda for the SGM while the rescheduling of the IPL 2021 would also be taken up by the board in discussions with state associations.
Notably, the ICC reportedly has marked UAE as an alternative venue for the ICC World T20. On the other hand, the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has already ruled out hosting the remaining matches of the IPL 2021 in India and hence the two major tournaments should dominate the proceedings of the SGM.
