    "editor1": "<p><strong>Lahore, June 17:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Holding the 2020 T20 World Cup in Australia as per schedule would not be possible according to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ehsan Mani. Mani said that holding a multi-national tournament in a bio-bubble is very difficult as opposed to doing so for a bilateral series<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We have had a lot of discussions and the feeling is it (T20 World Cup) would not be possible this year. ICC has World Cups lined up in 2021 and 2023, so we have a gap year where we can adjust this event,&quot; Mani, who also heads the International Cricket Council&#39;s (ICC) Finance and Commercial Rights Committee, told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The tournament is scheduled to be held from October 18 to November 15 but has been shrouded in doubt due to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;God forbid if some player(s) falls ill or mishap occurs during the tournament, it will have a big impact and create panic in the cricket world and we can&#39;t take that risk.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Having a bio-bubble environment is feasible for say a bilateral series like Pakistan in England, but it is very difficult when 16 teams are involved,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mani&#39;s comments come on the heels of Cricket Australia chairman Earl Eddings saying that it is unlikely for the World Cup to be held this year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Trying to get 16 countries into Australia, when most countries are still going through Covid spiking, is unrealistic, or will be very, very difficult,&quot; said Eddings.<\/p>\r\n",
