ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney said: “The situation surrounding the global pandemic is evolving rapidly and we want to give ourselves the best possible opportunity to make the right decision for the whole sport. The health and well-being of everyone involved is our priority and other considerations fall out from that.

“We will only get one chance to make this decision and it needs to be the right one and as such we will continue to consult with our Members, broadcasters, partners, governments and players and to ensure that we make a well-informed decision.”&nbsp;

The much-talked-about tax issue between ICC and BCCI was also discussed in the meeting and the global body agreed to extend the deadline given to the Indian board to provide a tax solution to December 2020. Tax exemptions are needed for ICC events and the BCCI has failed to provide so for the 2021 T20 World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by India. The Indian board even failed to get tax exemption for the T20 World Cup in 2016.
